Cool Full Face Modular

Thinking of going with a full-face modular helmet that has Blue-Tooth in it. Can anyone recommend a make and model that they are familiar with? Tired of fighting the cold wind on highway rides up here in the north.

I ordered a Shark Evoline in matte black. Doesn't come with a Bluetooth, but I'm using my Scala Rider from Cardo.

Please post your opinion of the Evoline once you receive it, I have been wanting to try the Shark but no dealer close for correct fitment. Too much money when not able to return a lid you dislike.

Helmet Express will do a size exchange for $5. I used the sizing recommendations and measuring procedures from their site. Their pricing on the Shark Evoline was $30 cheaper than anyone I could find and included shipping.

The biggest issue with a full face helmet is how it fits YOU. Everyone's head is shaped alittel different so the "best" "most expensive" helmet may not be comfortable for you.

Nolan makes two different full face helmets with a built in blue tooth. One is a "normaol i piece, and other is a "flip".

I have both, and they work well for talking with a passenger, or getting "tunes" and directions from the Garmin GPS.

They also have a built in flip down sun visor which is a must for me since I hate putting sun glasses on with a full helmet.

There are a ton of great helmets out there. The modular unit that I've been using is HJC's. It's performed pretty well, but my wife has taken it over, so I'm shopping for a new one as well. I'll be watching this one.

Yeah I'm up for a Modular this year myself. I'd be interested in what you guys think and come up with.
