        Comfort and practicality to be honest. Reviews say when they're locked they will work as intended.

          But Fullface helmets have better safety rating than modular.

          IMO Modular helmets are ok only for commuting

            An car driver looks for another car while changing the lanes and not bikes. And if you were driving in blind spot area it's real difficult. There are 2 blind spot areas in car IMO.

            1. Is diagonally behind the car near rear boot/door an meter away from car.

            - (slight off topic)usually drivers in our country adjust ORVM inwards facing cars body Cz most of them thinks that ORVM is for that purpose. In bumper to bumper traffic it's ok but in open roads ORVM's should be faced outwards. Some drivers use an small convex glass in mirrors for this purpose. But without using them it can be perfectly adjusted. Google "how to adjust car mirrors for blind spot"
            - Even for bikes mirror adjustments are important. It's not possible to have complete field of vision you either lose what's on your back or side. Best bet (in India where we ride on left) is you have to adjust left mirrors for what's on back & right mirrors for what's on (sides) blind spot.

            2. A-pillar of car. No remedies other than playing peek-a-boo inside car.

            But in both case of you are visible by brighter gear & headlights on (more important) it's easy to notice.

            Even I love full black riding gear which looks cool on road & no need to wash often.

            You could buy an full black gear for local rides to parties for show off.

            Matt black helmets won't show sexy streamlines of helmet. It looks like vega ₹800 helmet. But that's just my opinion. Go for what you love bro.

              Even I have myopia, but for me full face doesn't create any problems in ventilation and it's comfortable too. Previously I was using KYT RC7 and currently using MT blade. IMO you should consider full face for safety otherwise in modular you can consider Sol sm2 hyperspace but it's price is around 8k.

                Why not LS2 or MT Axiss modulars?

                  Sorry I don't have any experience of using modular helmets, so can't compare or comment on both these helmets.

                    Because, however costly a modular helmet may be, a hinge is never as strong as a permanent shell, if you know what I mean!
                    Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.
                    Because everyone who passes, isn't a martyr!

                          Guys, on a tight budget .. Need to buy a good helmet .
                          I saw ARES series from Steelbird was looking good .
                          Is it better than Shifter ? I went to buy shifter but the shopkeeper told me that shifter secondary visor comes down even when you hit a bad road .. Even I saw that by just a bit pressure the whole secondary visor was coming out and falling on the breath deflector. So he told me it can be dangerous.
                          Please suggest
                          Shifter Decor : ₹1750
                          Ares Royal A-1 :₹2100

                              Woah!! Up till now I was thinking of going for MT Blade or waiting for soon to be launched modular MT Atom helmet. But may as well go for FF386! It's modular and has a Sharp 4 rating compared to MT Blade 3 star rating for the same price.
