Helmets

Duties depends on the price of the helmet you're gonna purchase. And most of them either buy it directly from US or source it via their friends who live abroad because it's cheap and reliable.

Thank you VJ, my cousin is coming soon is it possible that he brings it in his sack because I have read few pages back that if someone only brings helmet without the box in the sack then he does not have to pay any duty is it so?

I'm not an expert when it comes to import export duties. But if my memory serves me right, yes unboxed stuff are void of duties cause they come under used stuff lot, so yes you don't have to pay any duty as long as the stuff is opened.

Generally, if your cousin is not carrying many dutiable items and also has only one helmet with him, he should be fine. I have carried helmets many times and except for the odd or stray incident, never had a problem. Beware though that many airport security checks do not allow helmets as hand baggage, so it will need to be packed in luggage.

biking terminal : somaji guda, next to TVS showroom.
helmet world : abids, ranigunj , erragadda..

look for Vega , LS2 , Cross under 4k

LS2 would be the best bet..

hair loss due to helmet is a myth still on a precaution.. you can use a balaclava.
dont get the local ones. biking terminal has good quality ones for 250 odd.. keep the head airy and cool.

buy two and wash them regularly . atleast every alternate day.

dont get the designer ones but the plain full face ones.. will protect your face and neck from sun and pollution.

Your best bet would be LS2 Cross and SOL. Hairloss is a debated topic and I remember a case study about helmet wear and hair loss. The main the hair falls is due to airflow over them over prolonged period of time as the scalp themselves aren't able to breathe. (long story sorry)

There is hairfall but very insignificant to cause balding or hairfall.

Sol is available with ah helmets.Last i checked, they had a green color in stock.No idea about daijya, you could try sm studios though, they also have many types of helmets.

If you're inclined for Daijya then try sourcing it from PlanetDSG as they are the distributors of this helmet.

You can check out Spartan progear for more info on dealers on your specific area,

That's the NEXX and rated one of the lightest weight helmet in it's class by webbikeworld. I've seen Sunny wear them when I happen to meet him. Real excellent stuff.

Ear plugs required.

I have been using a VEGA boolean for some time now, and i am really comfortable with it. The fit and the air flow also seems to be good, along with it's light weight that doesn't put strain on the neck.

However, it has too much wind noise whenever I do good Speeds. While on tours, that constant wind noise becomes very irritating.
I have tried LS and SOL helemest of my friend, but all those seems to be too big and too heavy over my shoulders.

I am happy with the VEGA, except that of the wind noise. So, I have now decided to go in with ear plugs during the tours.
Please help me with where can i get those in the market, and if constant wearing of it will cause any pain in the ear..

Any other alternative is Also welcome..
