If your "friends" give you static for wearing a full face, grab a Louiseville Slugger and give their half helmeted heads a coupla good whacks on the rear edge at the base of their helmets. Watch that helmet slide up and give them zero protection, then, a couple more whacks on the back of their skulls to drive the point "home..."

Tell 'em you're doing them a favor as their lights go out.
Then sir you have never looked at or tried on a Shark modular helmet or a Schuberth modular.

I have the Akoury AK1, just a tad different look than the 88, and i've been very pleased with it.

I've owned a couple of Vega's. Keep trying other cheapos, but keep going back to the Vega.

I bought a Bell Pit Boss for the trip through Missouri last year , it fit's in my 14 SG saddle bag . I was a little disappointed in the flip down shades though, I got the 1st one replaced as there were distortions in it , the replacement was better but I still see some wavy distortions in my peripheral , a bit of a mushroom head also but vary functional & comfortable.

Next up is an AK-88 .

Just bought an AK-88 about two weeks ago. After a handful of rides (including a 600 mile), I am completely satisfied.
