        Guys please help my best friend, he is going to upgrade his lid . He was using vega moto cross helmets for couple of years ...he is looking for SOL helmets and the model interested is hornet . The actual problem is one my friend told us that the padding of SOL is not value for money ...also recommended SPARX hornet .Please tell us which one is better ....

            Style part: full face helmets look way cooler than modular ones. With open front part, they won't be any stylish.
            long rides: looks like you did even read a single post before posting. For long rides, it is recomended to use a full face helmet. The modular ones from studds/ vega are not strong enough.

            you may think i am being rude, i myself am currently using a ninja 3G, but neither do i do any long rides nor do i ride much these days.nmy commute is only 2-3 kms daily for the last year or so. And i plan to get a better one soon.
            be safe and get a full face one.

              for the style part i do like to ride with my goggles on..... i'm not trying to get argumentative, from the reviews i do think that it isn't safe as full face helmets....

                  I recently bought a Studds scorpion full face helmet for Rs.1650.
                  I must say it is really well built comes with good padding and it feels sturdy.
                  It is an excellent VFM product.
                  I even found the Studds scorpion well built (in terms of quality of padding provided and overall feel) then a LS2 (could have been a fake).
                  And it is much better if you compare it with a Vega helmet (I have used formula HP and boolean).
                  It is one of the better helmets at this price point. One can even check out the steelbird SB10 series.

                  Few pictures of my lid.

                  There is sufficient amount of padding around just make sure you get right size usually the shopkeepers just keep the L size and say it is available only in that size.

                  Do not expect any ventilation, the air vents are more show,less functional.The only function they serve is create a lot of noise.

                        I have the same lid currently, the opening mechanism is not sturdy enough and the chin protection could have been better, thats why i have shortlisted studds scorpion, and in my personal opinion this is the best VFM helmet in this budget with enough protection.
                        Btw you might want to have a look at ninja 3g by studds itself, its better in terms of quality from 2g version

                          is this available in S size for small heads?
                          [MENTION=63586]DukeDey[/MENTION]

                          got the helmet and gears from cochin yesterday via a friend who came here for weekend.

                          its SOL SF2. missing the LED... it was my small head size that mattered most.

                              Ignore this design of helmet at any cost its like wearing a opening face helmet which can block wind and thats it.
                              You should go and see the quality yourself personally, you'll get to know what i am referring to.

                                You said you are not into arguments and still you keep on explaining your "reasons" for modular helmet.
                                Its your money,your head, buy whatever you wish for.
                                And if you really dont like what people here are advising you, whats the reason of even asking?
