You want to buy a helmet from a company whose country vetoed Azhar's black listing in UN as a terrorist? Further you want to buy a helmet manufactured in a country which continues to occupy Indian territories and supports indirectly and directly the terrorists operating in India from North East to J&K?

The primary reason for wearing a helmet is the protection it offers. Don't get a lid that you can't rely upon in the event of a crash as one cannot predict such an event. Always be prepared for the worst with the best protection you can afford.

Besides, you can always upgrade your helmet's looks with decals, vinyls, stickers, led strips and what not.

Cheers and regards.
Safe riding!

Wouldn't recommend this, looks have to the secondary to protection always. It's always better to go with recognised brands with a good reputation like MT, HJC, Steelbird etc.

Re: Helmets

Hey guys. I've returned the Shiro Sh 890 due to high wind noise. Looking for a new helmet. My head shape is intermediate oval. What's do I go for? I don't need a dual visor. What I need is good wind protection, and I do wear ear plugs. Is smk stellar a good fit for my head shape? The brands don't mention the head shapes right?

User review of hjc cs15? Will it be a good buy?

Re: Helmets

It's very light weight as compared to my sol helmet which was 1.6kg without gopro.
This one is 1.3kg.
It does have wind noise but if you wear ear plugs you won't feel anything.
Unfortunately since getting this helmet i have not been able to go to any long rides to test the comfort of the helmet.

Re: Helmets

To all Smk twister users. Is there a way to conceal the Bluetooth opening on the helmet ? It's causing wind noise creep in at 50kmph. I'm yet to get the Bluetooth device but until then this is annoying and disturbing. Can anyone help me, please ?

I've never encountered such an issue, but I would recommend using tape to seal off the Bluetooth cutout or use playdough to seal the small circular hole inside.

How old is your helmet? Get it replaced if possible because such a thing should not be happening in the first place.

Cheers and regards.

Has anyone got Shellios Helmet with inbuilt air purifier?

Re: Helmets

A curious observation: was reading first few pages of Helmets forum... and then skipped to last page. Between 2008 and 2019... the nature of discussion has switched from helmet shells and fits... to bluetooth, and air-purifiers!

Looks like we want our drawing room to travel with us on the bike trip. Just a reflection.... maybe we need to remind ourselves... Safety... safety... safety.... and then the soreness of a long ride.

There'll always be a line between safety vs comfort :-). I don't think anyone (or maybe handful) will wear the safest helmet in the world if it's not comfortable. And the definition of comfortable also changes over time. What was considered as an add-on earlier, maybe a standard feature these days.

Pollution wouldn't have been such a problem back in 2008 but with the condition of most of the cities these days, riders would ride it. I don't leave home without my pollution mask!

I'm still not a fan of the Bluetooth devices as I think it can distract riders from the road and traffic, but to communicate as a group and not spend 15mins to remove and re-wear the helmet with all attachments is a pain. Even studds recently launched a helmet with a 3.5mm jack and speakers! Would have been unthinkable in 2008.

What do you think riders would discuss in 2029?
