Go for ls2. Yes, the Polaroid works and if at all it affects the vision, it is in the good way. Only issue is riding in the night with the visor on is not advisable.

I guess there are few options within the mention price. I think SOL starts with 3500 and above.

Thats correct, why abroad when you can get it here.

Well, I got this helmet from Laxmi Automobiles who is an authorized dealer for LS2 helmets.

Its an LS FF358 model, its got G-Pump inside and comes with a SHARP Rating 4, it costed me Rs 3700 with an additional tinted visor.


Comfort and feel

I opted for a size smaller than last time, this is L size and has snug fit, I mean literally there is no room for my finger also. Previous LS 2 was XL and it use to move a lot when travelling over 60kmph speeds and it was unbearable. Coming to the Wolf helmet, it has the G-Pump system which works well, for me I,am okay with couple of air shots to keep it steady and fit. Yes, I do engage pump just to have the comfort feeling. This feature is good and restricts the movement of helmet even if you are doing 120kmph speed. Chin straps have added velcro to strap on the loose part. There is minute detailing given to the helmet which proves essential during its use, this is one of the added features which made me go ahead for this helmet.

Wind Wind Wind

There is wind noise, well if you compare the LS2 Phobia which I had before and this one then yes the noise has reduced but you can hear that swooshing wind noise. I have't tried any other brand helmet so cannot compare. But yes, you only need two steps to close the visor and it does cancel out maximum noise, its not like before where there were several gears in closing the visor down.

Graphics and quality

The wolf is on par with other brands, fit and finish of the helmet is excellent and exceeds my expectations. The glossy feel of the helmet shines out, I opted for black and silver type design because my black R15. The inner cheek pads are soft and comfortable, they are easily detachable for cleaning. The visor is also made of good quality. The extra one is a smoked visor which I plan to use in future when this one gets damaged. On the bike the helmet looks awesome. (would soon come up with a photo shoot over the weekend)

Price

Most of you would agree that there were other options present for the cost involved. Well, LS 2 has always been my favorite with their graphics and comfort. The Sharp rating present made my choice all the more clear and accurate. The cost involved was apt, if you go to see it costed Rs 3700 with an additional visor. I searched for the Sharp rating and ensured the model is present. Aman15 (xbhp member) helped me in knowing more about Sharp ratings, though he wasn't present during the purchase I knew the comfort and choice was perfect.

Let me know if you have any questions, would love to solve out.

Hope this small review helps.

The reason for my statement is that I haven't seen any ECE embossed LS2 till date.
Nice purchase

SHIT HAPPENED.. !!

my almost new CROSS helmet got stolen yesterday night.

now again i have to search for a new helmet.

The worst part is it got stolen from aamby valley... The so called gated community. I m giving my security dept a really hard time...checking all CCTV footage but still its very difficult to recover. Will lodge a police complaint.

My mood is totally off man.

Today i was supposed to attend that drag race....and here i m investigating my lost helmet.

I m pissed off yaar... Kuch karne me man nahi lag raha...

Get a new one. Simple. The emotions can be felt no matter what. But I'd suggest it's about time to change your helmet, for good.

Guys , i have a vega offroad helmet (black) , is it good enough for protection ?

I always say this and I repeat it once again. OFF ROAD black plastic stuff are not helmets, they are PLASTIC BUCKETS with an added visor, at least the Vega ones, not the purpose built dirt helmets.

Bro, tell you what, FIR, Police, complaint, bribe, visit to police station, petrol expense, frustration sigh! it will all tally to the cost of a good LS2 helmet or even more. Forget it sir ji. Get a new one. And from here on, make sure you carry it along with you or use a cable lock to lock (don't use helmet lock, it's very easy to remove along with the lock = more damages) the helmet in bike if you happen to be out for a long time.

Cheers!

I can break this too
Best is to carry helmet bag.

No, not cheap cable locks or cycle locks. There are very good locks like TYSON and other brands out there, those are real hard to break and the locking mechanism is fail proof rather than keys. But for thieves it's just a matter of time.

Yep, helmet bags are very useful, spend some 2k on them and it's always dangling about one's arse! Can be too flimsy to use about daily, but if it's just office to home, and vice versa, that'd be a nice proposition to work out with.
