My Lazer Fiber D1 is getting on a it now, so I'm going to need to get a new lid soonest. I'm actually not worried that it's FF - it's black and looks ok. I haven't used my open face one for a couple of months.

What has been annoying me though is trying to get my shades on inside my helmet. I haven't used the visor at all - in fact I saw how dirty it was earlier !!

Despite Mr Plod having an issue with tinted visors in the UK, I am going to get one on the new helmet so I don't have to wear shades.

Thanks for all the suggestions and feedback. Interesting to see all the different opinions and styles.

 

Flat black HJC CL-17 with gold shield. So dope

 

That sounds like it could work

 

Venting is the single most important feature with FF helmets wrt comfort. Look for a helmet that has booth vents on top of head and brow area plus exhaust vents plus chin vent. Look for ECC or Snell M2015 approval. Look for chin skirt. Not only size but head shape is important to fit. Different helmet models fit different head shapes. The only way to solve this is try on lots of helmets. It should be tight so you can't chew gum but not tight enough to cause discomfort with prolonged wear. Helmet fit will loosen slightly with time.

Yup under $200 and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Besides a Simpson bandit...

Here is me scooting round the hood in my HJC FG-17 in matte black. Face vents and top vents, stays nice and cool even here in sunny SOCAL. It does get a bit loud at highway speeds though, I normally wear some cheap earplugs to deal with that. I tried a bunch of helmets on and this one felt the best on my grape.

 

I use a Roof Boxer for a full face helmet. On my other bikes i have an AGV Duel Evo and a Shark s700.

 

The Tour X is a MX helmet and has super peripheral vision and the chin guard is further away from your face than a normal helmet, so has great ventilation. The peak is handy if you're riding into the sun too, but I believe it can be removed if you wanted. Might try that to see what it looks like...



I've never seen these bubble type visors before and think they look, well, very odd, but they are growing on me! You can flip attachments for them too.

 

Not a fan of the bubble visors - I see a bunch of people wearing them on the cafe racer forums.

That MX helmet and Roof Boxer on the other hand -
