    Got my LS2 FF351 MISFITS today. ordered from acebiker.com...
    looks awesome, fits well and no wind noise till 90kmph, not tested above it...
    How about the LS2's Air Flow bro?. Is it good?
    Didn't use LS2 before,
    I'm using Vega Off Road Dual Visor.

      i have not ridden much but surely a world of difference w.r.t. vega offroad(i had ozone offroad helmet, very similar to vega offroad). and its already very hot here in nagpur, and it felt good inside, was sweating a little but not hot, air vents works better above 60kmph...surely a v.f.m product....and looks awesome....

        In your humble opinion, How much would you rate both helmets out of 10?

          considering the amount paid, build quality, windnoise, fit, safety
          ls2- 8.5/10
          vega offroad/ozone offroad- 6/10

          i would say vega offroad is not bad, but ls2 is very good..

                            @Sandeep Patnala should be able to throw better light on Airoh helmets.

                            Also IIRC there are a few CF helmets by Daijya in that range, though I am not sure on availability.
                            @Lone wolf

                            Hello Buddy, At 12K you can get a good Airoh helmet but the problem is that the availability of spares especially with the Pit One XR.

                            One more thing is that the cost of the spares are on a higher side. I have been using Airoh Speed Fire Pitbull model since past 7-8 months and when i have met with an accident i have to change the visor ( 2K) and the visor clips ( 1K ) . Visibility is a problem with Airoh Speed Fire model ( its strictly for tracks and highways )

                            Have tested Pit One XR too from a close friend of mine and the visibility is good on Pit One XR when compared to Speed Fire. But the spares are not available for this model as of now with Bachoo Motors. Don't expect to fix any Bluetooth devices to any of Airoh models as it simply doesn't work, tried Midland and failed.

                            Don't expect ZERO wind Noise, due to the chin strap you get some wind noise above 120Kmph.

                            Seriously if you ask me whether to buy one ! My answer would be :- 1) Yes go for it if you are riding at higher speeds and need good protection. 2) But if you are tourer & city rider i suggest you to check SOL SF-1 which i liked it pretty much and i might buy one soon. Its shell construction is pretty good and on par with Airoh and its inner cushions are damn comfortable.

                                Thanks for the info [MENTION=5924]sandeep[/MENTION].
                                Yes I am a tourer. And hence wanted a light helmet. Long rides with my current kinda heavy helmet has caused me neck pains.
                                I'll check out SOL SF-1. Is it light too ? Know any shops in Mumbai ?
                                I own a 200NS so riding continuously above 120kmph is not what I'll be doing.
                                Any other I must consider ?
