Tell your brother you'll look even dumber if you're missing the lower half of your face.

 

I have a 3/4 I used in rider courses, and 1/2 when it hot outside. Think I will end up with a ff for long trips. The 3/4 is a Harley with a retractible sun shield, the half is a bell drifter. Its your skull, protect it how you chose.

 

I wear the ARAI classic m with a five snap face sheild.
It splites the differance betweeh a FF and a half helmet

 

For the most part, I never wore a helmet unless required by state law. Just dont like wearing one, period. Stupid? Yes, probably. Oh yeah, all the jokes about how all they do is keep the head pretty for viewing in the casket, yadda yadda yadda. Anyway, major shift in my philosophy of riding and I now am wearing a new Shoei NEOTEC modular. Shoei fits my noggin best. The NEOTEC is pricey but you can see why when you pick one up. Its pretty light also at less than 4lbs. I like it so far. We will see when the temps hit the upper 90s here this summer. Dont worry, buy what you like and what FITS. Oh, and you will buy others as time moves forward.

 

Right now I live in California and have to wear one, so here is mine. Bell Vortex, I love it......

 

Bell arrow for me. Cheap looks good and lasts.

 

ALL helmets make us ALL look like The Great Gazoo...

If your friends tell you that yours DOESN'T, they're just being kind...

Please return them the favor...

 

I found out the hard way.
2 types of Helmets OVAL and ROUND..

I seacrhed for 3 months for a helmet with no luck.
I was trying the wrong style on.


until I found an oval one fits nice...

 

Make sure it is DOT and even better if it is SNELL rated. Don't be tricked into buying a Harley helmet just cuz it has HD on it. They have 2 or 3 companies that make helmets for them and just put HD logo's on them. Head shape matters here. Wear it in the store for at least 10 minutes. Don't but the floor model. Numerous people have tried it on so it is stretched out. A helmet will break in a little, but not a lot. Carbon kevlar helmets are really light. Fiberglass are a little heavier but not much. The thermoplastic is heavy and cheaper. If you feel any immediate pressure points on your forehead, look for a different helmet.

 

I wanted a helmet that was sleek, all blacked out, comfortable, good venting, etc so I went with the Zox Genessis SVS. It was only about 150.00 and a year later, it still suits me well. Quinn over at http://www.ZoxOutlet.com did a great job for me. Im sure he will do a great job for you too.
