    Hi Guys,

    Soumya here from Kolkata. I am looking for a full face helmet for my ~ 40 km daily rides.
    I am using a Steelbird now, modular one.
    I have two issues with it, first - it is modular. Second, in Kolkata, its very humid, so I sweat a lot. So I will need something in which the inner fabric can be washable.

    Please suggest a full face one around 4-5K range.
    I am open to purchase online, provided the seller is reliable.
    I have shortlisted some LS2 models (LS2 Poker Motorsports Helmet - L - Buy LS2 Poker Motorsports Helmet - L Online at Best Prices in India - Motorsports | Flipkart.com), available in Flipkart, not sure if these are genuine.

    Let me know if there are better options.
    LS2 genuineness is a questionable subject as of now. Go for MT helmets in Spartan website as they are authorized sellers of the same.
    Usually these helmets come with removable inner padding which you can wash separately. I would suggest you to buy a quality balaclava and it should most likely solve your sweating problem. Besides, you can wash the balaclava routinely and it dries quicker than the padding.

        Buy the helmet in Chennai itself at SpartanProGear. MT Helmets are really good in your budget range.

        Ride safe and have fun.

            check out helmet world at trivandrum(nanthancode,adidas building), they have most major brands. or if you want to get it from the supplier itself try DJ helmets cochin(edapally)

              Guys need help finding a new full face helmet. My needs are as follows:
              1. Should not be modular
              2. Preferably without sun visor (I don't like the looks and prefer sunglasses under a clear visor)
              3. There should be some spares available (I will be buying a spare visor though)
              4. Should fit well
              5. Good air flow
              6. Cool graphics
              7. Safety is of course paramount...

              I am in Hyderabad so will prefer a store here where I can try the fit. I won't go to Zeus store.

              My budget is 10-15k. For a really really cool lid I can shell out 20 too.

              I like the Nolan n63 downtown available at DSG but I don't want to go to pune just to try out a helmet...

              If you know a place, please me out.

                          Even I am waiting for the HJC CL / IS 17 lids.
                          let 's gear up and riding dna have confirmed that they'll arrive by last week of July.
                          I was just skeptical of the e-bay as I can't judge the size online and this will be my first proper lid.
                          How long did it take to arrive. Customs vagaira?

                            Are the Helmets on snapdeal and websites like it are selling genuine products???
                            I saw HJC helmets and all are below 10K.
                            Can someone please clarify??

                            Just checked the image once again the title says HJC but the logo on helmet is "Cirus"

                                Rahul, can u tell me which seller did you get it from? and what about RevZilla closeout deals are they any good? (any other come to mind?)
                                There are lot of drool-worthy affordable stuffs available online, overseas! I just need to know an authentic,safe, reliable and tested procedure.
                                Can anyone throw a light on this. I have read here in some thread, that as long as the shipment is below INR 15k in value, Customs won't be a headache.
                                Is it valid now too?(I mean in the "MODI" sarkar) Enough questions for now. Please enlighten me wise souls out here!!!
