The great "helmet" debate

[Guest]

Which do you prefer

(hope no-one's already done this )

[Guest]

i tried AGV but found they didnt fit my head so i have moved over to Shoei now

[Guest]

I voted Arai.......

However, would like to try a shoei too, to see if theyre any better.

Mine is noisy (easily solved with ear plugs) and when you have the visor up it whistles like mad. Arai tech told me thats because I shouldnt be riding with the visor up.......true doh!

went to buy an Arai rx7 but the AGV TiTec fitted my head shape better

[Guest David]

Tried on a few and the Shoei was the best fit in my price range, I want to get the whisper kit for it now

[Guest]

I saw a piccy of Kagayama's Corsair Rx7 after his 187 mph crash last year - it was intact(ish) and he was racing the next weekend...

That's gotta be good!

Thing is when buying a helmet, you never get the true feel of it until you have been out riding in the elements.

They should have a wind tunnel what you can go and stand in with the helmet on before you commit to buy lol 8)

You could always take one or two of the forum members with you.. You know, the 'windier' ones...

[Guest]

Im a Shoei person stay with what you know and like eh? Although I have a spare which is called something like Arashi and no it isn't some knock off I found it quite comfortable when I have had to use it, its a spare or pillion helmet now. But I shall be sticking to Shoei for the time being

My Arai is my favourite (Nr 5 (?) Starflag)

Wearing a Shoei XR1000 Rutter Rep as its the same colour as my bike

Have a Suomy Gunwind thats roomy to fit my specs on, the Shoei is crap at that.
