The single purpose of helmet should be your safety and not its safety . Finding something cheap is not so tough in our country ain't it?
Instead Buy a cap and put it in your pocket , why I am being so absurd here

No jokes, for your need choose a helmet which has easily detachable visors, install a helmet lock in your bike, carry something to cover the helmet. While in parking lock your helmet, cover it from dust. Remove the visors and carry it with you, visors should not be damaged for good vision.

Long while back, I had the same intention to buy the Ninja from their website, but their payment gateway was so crappy, I just refrained from doing so, and moreover, I tried calling them for the same, sent them mails, no reply whatsoever.

My advice, stick to local distributors, plus you can bargain a little, if you intend to.

I am Planing to buy tinted visor for day time use...I Have SL-68S II Metal Man Grey/Silver...what type of shades/tints are available in India?? Any Idea of shipping charges to Navi Mumbai if i order online???

I too wanted a smoked visor for my MetalMan but the SOL dealer said that only transparent visors are available for this model.
If you do get smoked visors please check for the GMax logo on it.

Genuine DOT or ECE helmets can only be shipped with clear visors as per the law. All SOL and NeXX helmets come shipped with only clear as they are imported direct from factory. Tinted and Iridium visors are always sold as aftermarket accessories. Ask your dealer for these and don't accept excuses!

Smoked (tinted) visors come with the GMax logo embossed like the clear but cant be seen on Iridium visors, since the mirroring process covers the embossed logo.

I am looking to buy a full face helmet. I use it for daily city commuting purpose of about 30-35 KMS and weekend rides. I am currently using Vega Boolean. My budget is 3500 INR. So, here goes the queries:

1. Cross or LS2 ?
2. Where can I get Cross Helmets in Hyderabad ?
3. Like LS2, can I get visors for Cross Helmets ?
4. Does the size of helmet change from manufacturer to manufacturer ?

Thanks in advance...

Helmets

I am looking to buy a full face helmet. I use it for daily city commuting purpose of about 30-35 KMS and weekend rides. I am currently using Vega Boolean. My budget is 3500 INR. So, here goes the queries:

1. Cross or LS2 ?
2. Where can I get Cross Helmets in Hyderabad ?

Thanks in advance...

1. Found both to be similar in terms of quality. The inner lining of LS2 is of darker shade, easier to keep clean. Cross are of light grey color, will get dirty quicker. Cross has various range starting from 2500.00. LS2, have mostly seen the same range but different decals. Don't take the pump version of either as there is no repair in India and have heard some complaints

2. Not sure about Hyde, but can try helmetshopee.com

3. Same visor of LS2 an Cross. First hand experience as Chopras showed it to me. Took out from Cross and put it on LS2

4. If you are just considering Cross vs Ls2 then they are same. Might be some difference in mm which could be due to the shell design + inner lining.

Thanks for the useful information bro. Will personally check out the stores here in Hyderabad and then decide. I will post some pics as soon as I get my new lid. Thanks again.

Naah I don't wear Specs... with Tinted visor I don't think its possible to wear Specs but with Tranparent /primary visor you can easily...

[rajpandey10]

Thanks shahbaz... Actually i am looking for helmet which has both the visor and can able to wear spects... Does anyone can suggest me where can i get in Delhi and of which brand..

[shahbaz63]

To be Frank, I don't see such a Helmet as of now,but still if you want you have to buy Helmet Larger then your actual size which will not be comfortable, and tinted one does the same job as the Goggles or specs does for us, so its pointless to have enough space between Tinted visor & your eyes, but may be who knows you may get a odd one...

The formula is simple, the more refractive strain you put on your eyes, the more difficult it is for your eyes to catch up with the real world. I myself we my glasses even with helmet on. But not multi layers of visor.

If you intend to use your glasses in a helmet that has dual visor, I'd suggest you not to do so, unless you're not so keen on bringing down the internal visor and happy with just the external and your glasses.

Second, you can go ahead and use tinted visor along normal prescription glasses, ONLY IN DAYLIGHT. The same rule applies, no internal visor, just the external tinted plus your prescription glasses.

Remember, the rule is simple, the more refractive index you add to your eye, the more it strains your vision and your perception of the outside/inside the helmet.
