Helmets

[B7ACKTHORN]

Flip ups in SOL doesn't have LED lights Ameya. The LEDs come as standard in full face helmets in all models, except a particular full face model.

I never mentioned anythng about half face nor flipup helmets Sir

No problem. I was just making a statement there. I know your question wasn't into flip-ups. Chill

I open all my helmet vents during rain for more air to flow inside the helmet and front vents to assist in defogging. So far I've never seen a drop come inside. Why don't you try pouring water on top or keep it under running tap water(slight drizzle) and see how the helmet performs in that case. (just in case)

That said, it shouldn't leak inside the helmet.

Got a new helmet for the Leh Ride
The SS-1 from Dual Sport - SOL Helmet India

It looks pretty much like the XD3 from Arai!

Good things
- You can see a LOT through this! has to be one of the broadest display dimension that I have seen!
- Adequate Ventilation (which could mean wind noise too)
- LOVED the fit and finish!
- The lense hardly has any distortion!
- The Chin strip can safely house a mobilephoneHand held camera if need be :P (DO NOT DO THIS!)


Whats not so good! Tough to find but..
- The Clips for the air vent is a bit clunky!


If you are into Rain riding, or bit of dirt riding or in any sort of riding which involves splashing mud\muck water by yourself or by others, then this is a helmet worth checking out!

do u recommend for regular use? does it have the LEDs?

The best thing to answer that is a ride in the rain.

I am completely new to selecting helmets.

Is it okay to go with Studds for my first helmet.?
They seems to have their range at the lower rates.
If not okay, suggest me some other brands that I can have a look at.

I'll be shifting to Hyd or Blr in a couple of months and planning to take my bike as a roadtrip. So, it would be better to buy one now. Considering this, Studds only have a dealer located at my reach, as for now.

AGV contact PRS Performance Racing Store
Nolan contact PlanetDSG : Motorcycle Riding Gear, Accessories, Apparel and..
you can use the websites to purchase directly from their site or contact them thru their number in their respective sites.

X-Lite, no idea, maybe others can help, but try sourcing it from overseas if you can

@Chicane : badiya hai I actually love the LEDs of SOL

@Sunny_side_up : Any idea when Delhi will get its dealer? We are waiting here. Can SOL get black/tinted visor too

I am sooo jealous of you. I was damn confused between MetalMan, Acme red and Unicorn. I purchased Metal Man Red. But everytime I see other SOL helmets I fall in love with them. I want all the Models. Acc. to me Acme red has the best LEDs(a glowing strip) and Metal Man has the best graphics. I wished there was a combination of them

Got my new Lid SOL SF-1.

Congrats bro...whats the price of the model. I like it specially because it the first full face helmet after Daijya which has has internal visor (thast why I am interested). Where in India are they available apart from Mumbai.

I guess you wont need tinted visor since this particular model has internal visor. Me too waiting for the dealership to open in Delhi.
