Helmets

[coolboy007]

WLT helmet bought

So, cancelled school and coachings today and starightaway went to Karol Bagh- Chopra automobiles as suggested by Delhi xbhpians to get a nice lid and semi gauntlet gloves. I wasnt getting to ride the 220 without riding gear so off i went to fulfill dad's wish.

Mr. Chopra was a nice guy and as soon as i said am from xbhp, he said oh nice, come i will show you all the imported range. Upon negotiating on price, he said the rates are reasonable and am from xbhp, he wont risk takin me in for a ride

Nice collection from WLT and Vega, AGV he had. This was one helmet which i picked up as soon as i saw it. Really looked nice with my black 220 and had good features:

1. Head vent- can be open closed
2. Vent near chin- can be opened/closed.
3. Visor lock- lock the visor at high speeds through right side button so it wont cause any problems at high speeds.
4. Helmet is DOT approved.
5. Inner padding is removable and washable.

The helmet costed me Rs 2600 + 1650 for Alpinestar gloves.
There was one cool helmet there which had breadth sensor. You breath out a bit forcefully it opend the visor, repeat again and it closed it. No need of hands Gloves pics has been added in riding gear thread.

Here are the pics:

@Coolboy: You should have opted for a better known name rather than this WLT, and the rubber finish is going to look horrible in next few months. I case of gloves, again i would have suggested to go for a more known name like cramster, DSG etc rather than opting for those copycat astar.

But dont feel bad they would serve the purpose pretty well.

^^ I never said that its a bad helmet.

@Cool: if its not the rubber finish one like that of Zyan then nothing to worry but if its rubber finish like that of Dipu then as i said 6 months down the line it will look horrible. Dipanka aka RX can vocuh for this.

Yeah that is true Bandhav bhai but i think this happen when helmet is exposed to the sunlight a lot but
@cool : if you can avoid it from sun as much as you can please do.

[BANDHAV]

Bro, the helmet had a DOT rating so i took it without any doubts on the brand. Hope it does the job well.

The aerodynamic feel, the anti glare visor and customisable vents are real good. I took it for a spin, a Jetta and me went flatout and even at 115 my head was fine with absolutely NIL wind noise.

Bro, i didnt buy that helmet. Would prefer to stay away from such things in India. Yeah, the shop guy breathed out and it opened/closed nicely. Had a build in motor. Was a chinese co.

Thanks yaar, sad NEWS- mine is with rubber coating and its giving me goosebumps now. Anyway tio keep it intact? Wax polish or something?
The helmet is real nice which i can confirm after a nice 100+ sprint.

If it gets dull now, let it be. Cant do anything. Cant stop going out fearing it might lose its shine.
What about those CROSS helmets here? Most have the rubber finishing or is it called matte finishing or are they the same thing.
Also, my travel is daily between 6-8 Pm when sun is gone so a bit extended life.
If it goes bad then maybe time to change or customised paint

^^Chinese helmets and their Standardisation, but lets not get into that.

Matte finish and rubber finish are different things, the only similarity is that both finishes dont have shiny outlook.

Yeah they dont have shiny outlook. I didnt bought the shiny paint finish because i though it will prone to hell lot of scratches when you keep them at metro station parkings etc and will look dull after 6-7 moths like my Studds got scratched.

Hope DOT keeps a good standard in checking helmets, wanna make sure my head is safe, dont care about other things

Sir I mean that if he park his bike in the sun then don't forget to take his helmet with him.Some put there helmet on helmet lock. they don't care that how much it cost or what ever... this way he can save his helmet from sun.
