Selene Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 i am thinking about getting a new helmet now because the one i have is old and it has been dropped a fair amount of times...my bad i am thinking of getting one of them flip front helmets if anyone has one or has tried one? i'm going to go on a budget of say £100-£200 so something good but not too cheapy...was wondering if anyone here would have any suggestions?

Boothy Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 It depends on sizing. Just because one helmet is good for somebody doesn't mean it will be good for somebody else. Go and try some on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 You've definitely got to go and try on as many as you can to find the one that fits the best...... Check out the Sharp website to get some ideas first........http://sharp.direct.gov.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Here's one to consider from the Sharp site:http://sharp.direct.gov.uk/testsratings/nolan-n90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_stu Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 My Dad has a Nolan and thinks its a bit noisy but then he did have a top end Caberg before so possibly his views are a bit skewed. I'd defo reccomend a flip one, I didnt get one because everyone kept saying they're heavier. Now, I wish Id got one, so much more convenient. HTC do a nice one with a built in visor tooLike the guys have said, best thing is to go try them on, get what fits you best, don't go in desperate to make a particular helmet fit your head as you'll only regret it down the line if its not quite right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techno Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Look at caberg with built in visors, I personally have never gone on the sharp website but it's a fair enough suggestion, oh and I'm glad I don't yet fall into the flip lid bracket yet, I nearly got one last time but so glad I went with the caberg ego instead.

chris_589 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I've got a box flip front, think its great and it's got a flip down sun visor, not sure if its quiet compared to anything else but it does me and means I can fiddle with my ears when I needy head phones in.

Selene Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 wow thanks for the replies guys! i had gone down to the local dealer yesterday with my father because he wanted to book his bike in so while he was doing that i went and tried on some of the helmets. i did like the look and feel of the caberg konda and the one i had tried on was a bit too big so i asked at the counter if there was any in a smaller size luckily enough there were two left so i tried one on and it was a perfect fit! they also asked if i wanted a bluetooth kit to go with it and i thought for a minute or two and agreed because the bluetooth kit would be more convenient than picking up the phone and having to stop when all i can now do is push a button and chat away well i've bought the helmet and bluetooth kit and had gone out on the bike today and tested out the bluetooth as well, i think i've made a good choice there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
