PS: I havent included Shipping charges in the the above calculation. Rest assured shipping would itself be a reasonable chunk. IMO its better to consolidate your stuff and then ship in one shot!

For a rough calculation, the SHOEI I highligthed was 189USD and came out to be about 325USD in total (shipping+duties+tax).. so figure out...

1) I am using M, which should be about 53cms... I check the AGV chart and figured how many cms it meant and compared them with my other lid and then finally came down to this conclusion of M being okay! (and luckily M was in stock for closeout!)
The entire helmet is Matte finish.... but the finish is much better than the cross mattes!
2) I got the plain visor, and ordered a Yellow and a Blue visor!

Tips to overcome plastic smell

All new helmets have that new plastic smell. I wore my helmet for the first time and immediately found the smell overpowering. Cold winter morning didn't help either . Fortunately, the face of the helmet (Vega Boolean) can be lifted up and so I went for my practice ride that way.

Is there anything to speed up the process of reducing the new plastic smell?

i recently bought this cross matt-black helmet from Probiker's in Pune. It has an inside visor which acts as a sun-shade. I even got a free head-cap from him for being an X-bhpian But now that i am back in Baroda and having a look at it.... i don't see any DOT certification (all the glossy ones with graphics did have it though).
This one cost me Rs 3800 and feels worth it (he advised me to buy this one over the MPA-agv one as this one had better padding and a removable cladding too).
Can anyone tell me whether this one is worth the price i paid for it?? Also is it as good as the DOT certified ones??
