Default Revzilla helmet sale

I don't have a high dollar helmet and have been thinking about it. I have decent helmets but tossing around the idea of a couple good FF types for her and I. Just got this flier in my spam box and thought I would share since there seem to be some pretty good savings. Noticed they have hefty price cuts on jackets as well. Guess they are trying to dump some inventory before the year ends.

Those are some great prices on the Schuberth helmets. I highly recommend you find a Cycle Gear or other helmet dealer and go try them on before you buy. But Revzilla is great about exchanges, although you might encounter issues exchanging clearance items like that. And lastly, I recommend you DO NOT buy any of those shitty retro helmets. They have terrible aerodynamics, are probably the loudest FF helmets on the market, and look ridiculous.

Those helmets in the ad are probably good helmets but, IMO, you should look at Shoei and Arai before buying. I'm on my fourth FF which is my third Shoei, an RF1200, and I'm happy with it.
If your head is going to be in the wind instead of behind the windshield, noise will be an issue.

I love my Shoei 1200. It took care of all my buffeting problems. I spent the extra and got the transition lense, it’s pretty sweet too.

I bought a Shark EvoOne v2 from them in Mar 2018. In fact I have been buying gear from Revzilla for years. I am presently eying a new jacket to replace my 10 year old one this year. Stuff over 35 (I think) ships free and you get Zilla bucks to get you to come back.

I have an inexpensive FF somewhere but have not put it on my head since before I transitioned from contacts to regular eyeglasses. I do recall having a near impossible time getting sunglasses on through the visor opening. Now having to wear glasses, getting them on with a FF helmet is a huge concern. Are the newer and better helmets going to be a problem with this? If so, no sense in me even wasting time looking.

I wear glasses full time and I wear them under my shoei just fine.

Most new FF helmets are designed to work with glasses

2nd that; most new FF helmets have channels for the arms to prevent pressure points, as well as cavities for ear pieces to mount communication systems
