Lid Roll Call
Forced by (European) law, I wear the Arai SZ/F 3/4 matte black helmet.
Regulations are very strict over here in Europe; wearing a non-approved half-helmet or a beany means risking a fine!

Same here. XTS Naked. It actually fits better than my $14.99 POS I've been using for 3 years.
EDIT - Wife has a KBC full faced & Shoei modular as she likes her face more than I do mine...

Might sound like an odd request, but does anyone have an pics of the vegas xts actually on their head?? Just so we can see if there is any mushroom effect? Unfortunately, there aren't many places around where I live to try helmets on.

Full face, full time. Had a helmet save me twice in a crash (offroad) so I have never thought of not wearing one, although it is required here in Oregon.
I love the look of the little skid lids, but just haven't tried one. Maybe this summer when it's warm.

I've got a few......non dot novelty beanie is the one I wear most; I also have a dot carbon fibre beanie that isn't too mushroomy looking that I am trying to transition/get used to but it bugs me cuz it seems to catch the wind more than the novelty one; which is really annoying at highway speeds.
My third is a cheap HD full face I bought one cold rainy day as I was starting a long multiday ride. I wear it for long trips sometimes; especially if there's going to be a lot of interstate riding or if the weather looks dicey; pretty comfy and quiet so its nice on the longer rides (I dont have a windshield).
My next purchase is going to be one of those Biltwell 3/4 helmets; they look pretty cool and I think they might actually cut down on some of the wind noise over the beanie style lids.
