    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?

            The most pathetic padding you can found is available in the sba1, no matter which size you try it will be dancing on your head.
            In comparison all the studds range above scorpion has better padding.

                  In my case the pasting of the padding of studs shifter came off withing months and i have been holding it with araldite since then. On the other hand my ls2 has been going strong for 6 years, but it costs a lot more

                                600 mm will fit u well on 609 mm head , do try it physically padding expand with usage don't buy online. Also look at studds ninja 3g it also has dual visor but 600 mm is max.
                                I am sure 600mm will fit u well.
