There are a lot of helmets in your above mentioned range, plus most of the helmets these days come with removable liners, cheekpads, etc, so that shouldn't be of concern.

Try Orion Motors in Bangalore, they deal with a lot of helmets, in your price bracket

NAICE!!! So how about the performance. Can you post some photos of the inside of the helmet too, if possible? ;D

A dark smoked visor would be kick-ass for the helmet.

For the CBR 250 I would suggest the SL68s Unicorn or the SL68sII from the MetalMan or even the Hornet Series. The Hornet is brand new and looks superb!

Finally Got my New LS2 FF351 Tonight!

My new lid for my new ride. LS2 ff351. Got it from AA Helmet for Rs2450! Also I never knew the Ls2 Helmets are ECE 22.05 approved. Glad to see the stitched ECE Approved logo as well!

Hello all, my knowledge about helmets isn't much hence this query.
What is the difference between 2-3 grands priced helmets and the ones we get in malls (Big bazaar, Star bazaar etc) for 600-700 bucks, which I currently use.
I am asking this because I plan to upgrade my helmet because of these two reasons:
1) It gets very hot during slow moving traffic and I sweat like anything, my hair becomes all wet like I just came out from a bath
2) During night time I get lot of glare from opposite traffic. The lights appear like bright rays, but it appears normal if I slide the visor up. May be its because of the scratches on the visor.

Will a high quality, more expensive helmet solve these issues for me?
If yes, then please suggest me some nice options that will go well with my Lava Red FZ16. I am OK with 3-4K price range.

Thanks

Stanley, most of the cheapo helmets u see in the malls are Indian Makes and aren't ISI approved unlike (Studds, Vega, Steelbird and now Aaron). The more expensive and good quality helmet you buy, the better it will help u to keep your head safe. With a budget of 3-4k you can get plenty VFM helmets like the LS2, Cross and even SOL (only 1 model in that budget). You can even manage to buy a Cross with the Pump in that given money. Remember, you can't trust your head and life on a brand that ain't trusted by the Testing Authorities itself! I suggest you try out AH Helmets and AA Helmets at Andheri if u live anywhere close by that area.
