Re: Helmets
I just checked on downtown helmet today and it was not even covering till my chin. The size I checked was L size, weight was something around 1450. Fitting was good though but if buying a full face helmet and it doesn't even cover chin..? Doesn't feel good to me.Originally posted by vedavyasa86 View Postanyone using 'Studds Down town full face helmet'?
if so can you please tell me how much it weighs.
I have vega eclipse - which is not a snug fit - not comfortable and wobbles, which i gave to my dad - fits him perfect!
MT Axxiss Geo -3 - Superb helmet - but in city its pain in the neck - weighs around 1450 -1500 gms small size
I am planning to buy a Studds downtown helmet, please advice, reason is i loved the modular design, flip out style , cool looks.
so someone please provide me with the weight and sizes available ( checked the studds site its says starts from M)
thank you.

Re: Helmets
We got goodies .... an Iridium rainbow visor and since the helmet didn't come with a chin curtain, the friendly folks from Bike-O-Pedia gave me one :-)Originally posted by Naveen Vajja View Post[ATTACH]201355[/ATTACH]

The Iridium visor ... It is an attention seeker and grabber. Your IPhone 6 will not even hold a hair to the number of finger prints this attracts. And its a major pain to get those out. It is a maintenance hog. Few points to consider for Iridium Visors ...
1. They scratch like hell. And each and every scratch shows up ... like those nasty puberty pimples. The bugs are like dead creatures under a spotlight ... makes you feel like a destroyer of an entire race. Ok I'm being dramatic :-P Its rather the inside that scratches even worse than the outside. So people who have the habit of using your helmet as a carry bag should avoid this. They also stock iridium silver visor as well.
2. Visibility at night is a pain. It is not exactly nil and better than those dark tinted or the iridium silver. But I'd prefer a clear one at night.
3. Cannot wear your fancy polarised Gunnars under this helmet as it will give you all sorts of rainbow effects :-) People with vision problem will have issues and get mild headaches after really long drives *people I know*
4. Clean only with a wet cloth or preferably under running water. Never clean them dry.
Now the Chin curtain ... now I'm not sure if it is helping or making things worse. It is a different kind of quiet where the wind is not howling ... but rather quietly roaring. It is difficult to explain, but I guess since it is not so sharp it will do. Kranos doesn't have a chin curtain. Its from the high end MT.
P.S: I do not own nor have a vested interest in Bike-O-Pedia. They are just my neighbourhood friendly biker shop.When I'm on the road, I'm indestructible. No one can stop me... but they try.

The visor looks delicate because it has reflective background that shows up all the scratches and dead bugs. You dont have this visual problem with the transparent visorOriginally posted by Naveen Vajja View PostOhh another Kranos ... good man. Which one :-) (Please don't say IMOLA Future)
The quality of this visor is kinda meh, if you look closely you will see pigment spots within the visor tint, kinda annoyed me at first but then, meh. Not gonna complain
I dont touch my visor unless I am wearing gloves. Infact I dont touch my visor at all. I understand its not slick while opening the visor, but I still use the handle to push open the visor slightly, then push up the entire visor using the center edge. Closing is pretty slick, no complains on that.
Its a pretty awesome cheap entry level helmet with DOT certification, the cheapest out there currently I believe.
