    I'm in the market for a helmets upto Rs. 3500-3700. Full face and inner sun visor with considerable noise reduction (compared to Boolean) are must. What are my options?

    Does LS2 FF350 or 351 have inner sun visor?
    Where can I find MT helmets in Pune? They are not available on snapdeal anymore.
    What happened to Daijya helmets? It was very popular name on this thread.

    EDIT: I did googling on those questions but ran into some debates which confused me even more.
    Check this out. Even I'm saving to buy this one.. It has two separate visors: clear and a dark visor integrated inside the helmet.

      But is it in my budget?
      I read somewhere that it weighs more than 1800 grams.

        Check the specs for weight. Cost I think is around 5K.

          Weight isn't mentioned on their website.
          On team bhp someone mentioned it's weight being 1800 grams. My current boolean is 1600 grams and anyone who used ever used Boolean will confess it being heavy. I have a strong neck but that heavy helmet on a 500km/day tour will tire anyone's neck.

          Anyway at 5k it's out of my budget.
          Looks like I'm down to Vega cara helmet which costs around 2.2k and has dual visors. I don't want to buy that because my friend has one.

            If on tight budget, you should check Studds Shifter. Gull fave helmet and dual visors. I am also using one currently.

            Ride safe and have fun.

              You can check Cross helmets. Most of them are under your budget of 3.5K.

                Guys, What does 1 shell or 2 shell protection mean?

                I'll probably visit laxmi automobiles - dealer of LS2 and cross helmets. Maybe I can find some more options in that shop.

                Anyway, what do you guys prefer ? inbuilt sun visor or helmet + goggles combo?
                I have used inbuilt sun visor and it does provide massive convenience TBH.

                  Hey Guys,

                  Need to buy a new Helmet for my white zmr. Used a studds rhyno white/red until now.

                  Ideally need a full face/half face interchangeable helmet. But a full face may also do good.

                  I need good looks and comfort.

                  Saving for LS2. But if I find a similar product for less it would be great.

                        +1 to that.

                            Personally, it is just okay'ish for city commuting. Touring takes a toll on your ear muscles; pains. BTW the quote is at least 800/- INR more than what it is in Bangalore - checked around two months back.
