Re: Helmets

Okk.. So im planning on buying a new helmet..and that would be l Dirt/Mx style. Iam willing to shell out 5000rs on it. Any suggestions/help would really help.
Although i went through few of those online but a little more help might give me a wider perspective to decide over it.

For Dirt or MX styled ones, only SOL has good quality lids for that type. The other companies ike Tih,LS2 and Vega which provide those type are absolutely rubbish.

@Srinivaas : Please dont quote the entire post for a reply, not everyone has high speed internet.
@Ankitvile : Although your query has been answered but just out of curiosity, would you be wearing this helmet on daily basis or going for off roading?

Re: Helmets

My latest acquisition.
A DOT approved helmet from SS (Speed & Strength).
Bought it from Revzilla.com.
Price - USD 89.00
Shipping cost approx. $70.00 (this includes the cost of shipping a Dainese riding pants besides the helmet.)
Shipping - US postal service priority express mail.
Transit time: 12 days
Customs duty: None
Payment method- International Debit card (ICICI Bank)

First impression - Adequate air flow but a bit noisy I thought. The cheek pads seem a bit tight , wear it a few times it'll
come around to your liking. Plan to use it for riding around town.

Impulse buy- I didn't really need a helmet at this time, what can I say I am a sucker for good graphics.

A few photos in case any of yous are curious what it looks like.

Would be for touring purposes and weekend rides. Please dont get into technical aspects on MX type helmets being not good for touring etc...i know all that. Any Mx type helmet or any suggestions related to that etc would really help.

In that case, Krish has advised you to get SOL. Rest, you don't care what other members have to say. Go figure yourself!

Actually i do care what you guys say...thus the reason i posted here. What i dont care about is people driving others according to what they believe is right for them. For Ex : here MX helmet is not good for touring and cold places etc (i know this fact) and knowing that still im opting for the same...and people instead of suggesting MX ones post reasons to drive one to buy a usual full face helmet rather than MX ones. So i said that...you took it up the other way....
Oh and you were pretty straight forward..i liked that. :beer:

When people don't want healthy advise for their own well being there is no point of helping people here anymore. I would refrain from doing that now.
