Helmets

[siddharth_ZMR]

Guys if I buy a cruiser helmet, the open face one. Wont it be uncomfortable on the highways due to the sunlight falling directly on the face?

Sunlight can trouble your sight even with a closed helmet with a transparent visor.
I guess wind would be a bigger problem and will cause fatigue and irritation in eyes

You have bigger problems if you buy an open face helmet. Please purchase a full face helmet only.

Can anybody suggest a place in Pune where i can get LS2 DOT model helmet's transparent visor. Probiker is out of stock so please suggest something different

Ya. The safety issues and rain issues are bad. Heck it cant even protect my face against dust or cold. The flip up types look good but finding a good quality one that does not flip up during a spill at a good price is tough. I am just looking at Studds, Vega and LS2.

With a full face helmet and sun glasses, very less part of the skin will be directly exposed to the sunlight. So lesser worry.

I agree with wind. Even dust, smoke, rain or even cold! So no to these things.

LS2 has some issues with regards to a minute gap in visor and helmet surface which creates a whistling sound at a particular angle at a little bit of high speeds which is irritating... as far as i know it applies to all models of LS2 but please recheck with experts..

Include a full faced Balaclava and nothing will touch the skin

Yes! On rides in hotter times of the day, I use it. A white one that too.

Guys, my helmet got stolen from Metro Station Parking

Need a helmet now. Please suggest a decent helmet for the price range around 1000 INR.


And, a question. Are those Gliders (dirt helmets styled) helmets safe? I mean, are the just stylish or they have the quality too?

They are made by vega also which are pretty good but very uncomfortable on highways... you can go for any iso marked helmet for 1k... vega/studds/steel bird etc,..

yes, even I heard that they tend to dislocate at higher speeds, thats by I asked.

Bro, the brand names are also known to me. I asked about the options in them, means the models.

Anyways, I checked and found Vega Trojan, Studds Rhyno and Steelbird SB-20 Twix to be suiting my needs and budget. Any reviews on these?

Hmm, even I am inclined towards it. Any reviews if you guys could share would be nice to be read And I've some questions like, do the vents really work for low range helmets like this one? Does it have a breath de? Does it comes with an extra visor? If yes, are both the visors same or we get a transparent and a tinted/mercury/rainbow one? Hows the fitting and is the helmet heavy for longer rides on tours? Because, I've heard from somewhere that Studds helmets are usually heavy. You can compare the weight with Vega Boolean for reference.

Also, if someone can comment upon Vega Trojan & Steelbird SB-20 Twix
Thanks in advance.

Well even i thought the vents wont work in the rhyno but "they do". The fit and finish is great for the helmet of this price. Regarding the visor, you will get only the clear one with the helmet but you can buy the tinted / iridium ( rainbow) visor as an extra. The clear one costs around Rs 350 i guess but i am not sure.

Other than that, the padding of the helmet is not removable but is very well made. I have not tested the vega boolean so cant comment on the weight, but the rhyno is not at all heavy.

I think the only drawback of the helmet is that the size is a bit big compared to other helmets but by time you will get used to it. I would say just go ahead and get this helmet. I am sure you wont regret it buddy.

ride safe
