Helmets

[lessgravity]

Are the Vega Offroad Helmets any good? What should one look for in a good helmet?

Offroad helmets have one big issue, go above 60km/hr and you will get lift on your helmet.

other than the usual ISI/ standard helmet stuff, u need to make sure the helmet fits you head correctly. Thats why i dont believe in ordering stuff online.

There was a good video about choosing the helmet size, cant find it now.
once you wear the helmet, hold it with your hands and try to move your head. If it moves your skin, then its the right size. If your head moves or you can put your fingers in the side of the helmet they are big for you.

Always go with the lowest size that fits you. Also remember that the padding will shrink a bit with use.

@ soumen.sam, I'm sorry about the misunderstanding .

@ lessgravity, thanks for the advise I'll be sure to check the helmets in this way before buying one .

LS2 helmets are priced around 3k-4k, that is why they are preferred.

But dude I saw people to buy LS@ at 4.8k also.

LS2's aren't models of VEGA buddy !
LS2 is a company itself which produces models like Dragon , Phobia , Cartoon , Diamond and many more !
LS 2 helmets are the imported versions which are produced and manufactured in China and are exported and sold throughout Europe therefore they are ECE certified.


Because its the best in this segment with some mindblowing graphics/designs.
some of their design's are even better than higher segment helmets.
the fit and finish is also great.

But in India the LS2 marketed and sold buy Vega India only (World Class Helmets Made in India).

Its been a long time since I’m dreaming for a Bluetooth Helmet. And finally my dream came true.

Seen lots of imported Bluetooth Helmets, but their price including import duty is just unreasonable investment of money I think.

So had an idea to implement a Bluetooth Device in a regular Helmet. Got my Vega Boolean few time back but due to my Job its hard to manage time. And finally manage a few and get it done last week end. Had a Bluetooth Device, Throw it towards it, few painful wiring welding and the meal is ready.

Ultimately the thing became more than I dreamed. Very user-friendly, Receiving calls are just a figure touch, mic planted accurately, Both side Speakers, I was only intended to installed it for the easy phone calls, but it too provide awesome stereophonic music which wasn’t in my plan. Tested in all condition, as the Boolean itself is pretty nice noise proof so no bothering at all and QA TEST PASSED. But cant use it rainy weather, as the Device is planted outside and its not water resistant. Pictures are attached, you guys may like it.

nice one there buddy even i am using a vega boolean but the work u have carried out can u give us the entire procedure of how to fit the Bluetooth in the helmet good work anyways.

Finally brought a Vega helmet. It's a Vega Eclipse. Did anyone hear about it ?

It looks like a Vega Boolean. Didn't find any difference between this model and Boolean. The shopkeeper told me that this is a same model but in a bigger size. Felt comfortable so took it. Cost me Rs. 1700 . Will post the pics shortly. Let me know if anyone of you has already used it .

The LS2 dragon models are made by made or marketted by Vega in India. They come with a cheap looking button strap (can't understand how ppl use that strap)

The other models are a lil more expensive and are made by LS2 in China

@Soumen:LS2 is not Vega's creation. They are just importing it to India.

I presume i posted the same link on the previous page !
you are a lil late to "LOL" at this !

Its because they don’t update their website frequently.

leaving Dragon and matte aside all the other ones are imported . Sold and marketed under LS2 brand name and not the Vega !

yes LS2's are made in china and i had seen sometime back on a website the LS2 pistonhead non motocross type costs around 1600 rs there . so if anyone has friends going to china can get ls2 from there at near half prices .
