Where & Which Helmet around 1K in chennai?

Hi Guys,

I've to buy a good helmet (for short term, high on safety, graphics is not a priority) for around 1K. Can you recommend any? Based on the discussion in this thread, I've shortlisted the following:
Vega Dominator
Vega Boolean
Studds Bravo
Studds Ninja
Studds Rhyno

Since I don't have big/large head I am hesitant to go for Studds. Please let me know your opinions. Also where can I buy it in Chennai (Anna Nagar)?

Go for vega boolean because of washable padding after u any one can use in future it will be hygienic. u can remove the jaw,any lady can use as a half helmet.

Nice lid and nice price too. When I told my friends that I spent 1150 on a helmet they gave me half an hour lecture. When I tell about the 15k one they will crash for sure

Try to have a look at MPA if available, it falls in ur range. Very decent for the price. I have uploaded the pics above. Boolean is more than 1.5k

Indeed your MPA looks good.
Can you share your exp with it? Is it light-weight, tough, comfortable, vents, visor etc.

Also can you guys comment on the whistling in these helmets. MPA too. I'm really particular about this. Had couple of close calls where I couldnt hear a car overtake me. Of course i dont know if he honked or not...

Whistling effect will merely be available in almost all the helmets.....Its tough to avoid it.....But there are few which can reduce the whistling effects....
Vegaboolean ---- it produces more whistling effect
StuddsNinja ---- I think this suits you - this produces minimum whistling.....

weight: it is very light. 1170+- 20 grams

padding is very comfortable & washable. Actually the best I have seen among the three brands

I wear spectacles while driving. (not many helmets are specs friendly , either too tight or too loose) And i find the design compact. Not too bulky. Comfortable chinstrap too

Vents there are couple of them. I have not used it much so cannot comment on that aspect.

Visor is same as the agv one. 450 buck just for the visor. If iridium (or some coating) it cost 750.

Essentially it is the same a agv except for the branding. this is what the sales guy was telling me. I went for AGV but like this more than them, color wise

Whistling: have not really thought about it. I will check and get back on this later on. A lot of cars these days are so silent that unless they honk u don't even know their presence. whistling or not on has to be careful

for 1150 bucks i felt it was a value for money. I felt it looked better than Studds or Vega. I tried boolean also, but ppl advised against the Modular helmets because they don't offer the same level of protection like a full face helmet

Finally what ever helmet u are taking try it for atleast few minutes at the store. makes a lot of difference

Sorry MUK my mistake Boolean is 1700 without graphics and graphics one is 1950 bucks.
