So after many hours of researching helmets, I thought I would put together a little comparison of 4 highly talked about 3/4 helmets that are D.O.T. Approved or meet the D.O.T. Standards. As my research has shown, along with trying helmets on, each individual head is going to fit a helmet differently. *** By no means am I recommending one helmet over the next, but simply wanted to share the below information.

LICK’S NovDot – List Price $89.99

Weights were not listed as I was not able to get them off of each manufacturer page. A comparison was found on Lick’s site, but not verified.

****** INFORMATION LISTED IS FROM INDIVIDUAL HELMET WEBSITES

 

Great post. Thanks for the effort to get that info together, I'm sure it will be helpful for a lot of us.

 

Thanks nevil. I wish I could buy all four and do a fitment comparison on the noggen, but that isn't too feasible for me.

 

any reason you didn't add the Daytona?

 

Rockhard 3/4 is as good as it gets.....

 

Actually forgot about them. I will add this evening after I return from work. Sorry about that.

 

Can you send me a link to them as it is difficult to find info. on them when I go to their website. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place. I would be happy to add them to the comparison. Thanks for bringing them to my attention.

 

I'm kinda stupid and old, and I never wear a helmet. My wife does though. She used to wear a 3/4 helmet until she had this little meeting with the pavement a few years ago. Now she always wears a full-face helmet. If I was concerned with protecting my noggin, I'd wear a full face. Since I ain't too concerned about my head, I prefer to ride lidless.

 

thanks guys

 

Haven't seen the Lick's in person... but did get to model the Biltwell, Bell 500 and Fulmer V2. They're all pretty good helmets.
Ended up buying the Fulmer, because I liked the gold metalflake color. It's very comfortable, and a great value.
I'm wearing it in my sig pic.
