Helmets

Re: Helmets

Ha ha ha...

Reminds me of a weird conversation between me and dad a few years ago when someone from my native (as per customs) after a marriage handed me a set of clothes as a gift. It included a shirt, a jean and under garments. Sadly, the chaddi was vermilion red and I refused to ever wear it. My dad then said, who'd see it anyway? Red or white, all it does is hide your ass!

Sorry for the OT.

Well, what can I say then. When you gotta wear, you gotta wear. Oops, an OT there.

Cheers!

Re: Helmets

Graphics, decal or design is purely a matter of personal choice. If you feel like you have a choice to make another choice for the enlisted colors then choose the one you like. I mean, it's like persuading someone to purchase an underwear for the color which I'd like. I mean it's his ass that's ultimately in the line. Forgive me but I had myself cracked up pretty much

But ultimately the decision is yours.

Re: Helmets

Please suggest me good helmet meeting ECE standards under 4k.
Graphics is not concerned.
Can anybody tell me about LS2 FF386 modular?
When I asked Bachoo motors for LS2 they said they dont keep chinese helmets.
They gave me alternative of vega axor range for LS2, whereas axor meets only DOT standards.
I am confused.
Please help me.

VJ - would you care to elaborate why? As in apples to apples comparison?

thats a strange comment for him to make considering that RJays helmets are made by MHR, the same company that makes LS2.....

Re: Helmets

With all due respect sir, glad to hear from you. Perhaps not an apples to apples basis but HJC AGV and SOL I've had the opportunity to wear all these lids and inspect them closely. And I've found the latter two comparatively good. Not to diss SOL, a very good helmet to reckon with, but the devil is in the details. I would suggest SOL for folks that are budget oriented, but not everyone.

But anyone who has upped their budget, why not them get a premium helmet, genuine one of course.
And not to beat a dead horse, but you very well know most of the top end brands, including certain items from your own stable are perhaps conceived in China in some way or the other. Just because Dainese is outsourced to Chinese doesn't make them Chinese brand. And the Apple Ipad/iPhone you have is a very good example of that right. LS2 is headquarted in Spain, but perhaps Bachoo might be misinformed. The common notion is LS2 is Chinese, but the fact that almost everything we have is Chinese is nullified.

But differentiating and inspecting before purchasing a product is one way where a consumer can discern a product for what its worth.

Re: Helmets

You can try Priya Helmet house and Sunshine Helmets, both in Teen petrol pump area in Thane.
Both shops have a good reputation for stocking original helmets and its accessories.

LS2, SOL, Cross are all very good entry level helmets, the former being the favorite budget helmet, followed by SOL with very good funk graphics and good helmets. Cross is on par in their low level helmets, but good on their high end helmets.

LS2 Phobia is the cheapest approved helmet (subject to RRP) and used by many here, it's a good choice.
