Helmets

[antz.bin]

Hi All ... This has been on my thought of going for a new full face helmet. But the issue that I am facing is that other than the bigges from likes of Arai, Shoei, Nolan, AGV there are a lot others as well ... And I absolutely have no idea about how good they are as far as protection and comfort are concerned. I am referring to names like : Shark, HJC, Sumoy, Bell, Icon, Scorpion or KBC.
We probably find most of then in India but since I am in US currently, I want to get one from here as huge options are available. But I prior go for any one make or model, I would like to know if anyone has owned or has helmets made frm the second lists. I have a few friends who own Shark and KBC. But I m more keen to know about Icon, Bell, or Scorpion. They are relatively cheap and have lots of variety as well. But are they good enf to own one as primary helmet.

Mods : Please merge this with any existing thread if any.

Thanks

Any of the helmets that you buy in the USA would have to be DOT approved. That means that they already conform to a specific safety standard. Since your basic concern of safety has been taken care of, the choice will simply depend on your taste, fit, and depth of your wallet!

Bought Studds rhyno for Rs1200 last week. My primary concerns were low wind noise and budget. For this price it's a good buy. The sad part is that most of the models are available only in L size (in Ernakulam). They dont keep other size like M.

[sunilyo]

Which is the best helmet i can get in a range of Rs.2000-2500? I was looking at Studds range which are around Rs.1600 bucks MRP but if better options are available then please suggest.

But please note cannot go above the said budget of Rs.2500.

How about Studds Scorpion range? For rs1650. Fellow members/owners kindly share your reviews about the same.I can't find anything better in same range.

@sunnyside_up Please get the SOL Helmet India webpage up & running so that we can buy SOL helmets online & even buy & see Spartan Riding Gears. I'm eagerly waiting for it to happen.

@akshay - you can purchase through the webpage already - hundreds of helmets have been delivered all over the country in areas not covered by resellers. Simply write into the contact centre with your requirement and they will guide you. Bank transfer is preferred so as to avoid the 7.5% transaction fee of cc's.

The Spartan ProGear website is almost done - but you can get a glimpse of the FB page in the meantime.

rixBhp, From where did you get the rhyno in Ekm? I am starting to consider a red white (D1 N2)model of Rhyno after my almost failed attempt to get my hands on the SOL 48s YF red white. Also how is the weight of the helmet?

@sunnyside_up was interested in the riding pants & glove. If you remember me that I had spoken to you once on phone. My body dimensions are HUGE. So will it be possible to get a pant in my size??
