      Sriram bro., I've checked the details for SOL helmets on their global website.. I noticed that the open/close toggle for sun visor is situated on the top with gaps along its operating region.. How does it performs in rainy days?
      Does water enter through this area?

            • @AKAIogan If you are planning on getting the LS2 helmet get the Modular one. I have an LS2 FF350-1(non-modular),the visor fogs up pretty fast and the vents are effective in clearing up the fog only above 60koh. I tried coating the inside of the visor with soap water and letting it dry but the layer wears out very soon.The helmet is not very good in the rains.My earlier vega boolean was much better in the rain.

                    Please visit, Lal-Baagh Road (parallel to J.C. Road) near Urvashi Theater.. that's the best place in Bangalore to Buy Helmets.. You can visit 'Helmet Paradise' a corner shop just opp. to Theater.. you will get what you are looking for however m not sure about the prices, Try out 2-3 shops around to get best deals..

                      Thanks for the advice, but i really feel that modular ones are bit compromising on the safety front. My last experience with my LS2 Dragon was good have change it as it has served its life. So looking for LS2 WOLf . or maybe I have to try NUVO .

                      Cheers.

                          The model is the same - 68s - just the graphic is different.



                          SOL is the parent company - the GMax brand is proprietary to the North American market. The same helmets are sold as SOL elsewhere in the world.

                          Hello, My budget is around 5k and I am bit confused about which Helmet to buy, I am based out of Bangalore & know where to buy but not sure Which to buy?

                          I have quick clarification on SOL SF01 vs. SL68s, I really liked SL68s because of the graphics. Does Visor for both the helmets are same or its different or its just the shell which is different??? And
                          In terms of weight does SOL is equalant or lighter compared with Airoh??

                          I didn't get M-size in SOL when I visited the helmet shop last week and was not happy with SOL SF01 graphics because SL68s was not in display and more over I didn't knew about SL68s earlier... specially after trying out Daijya helmet with real cool graphics, the fit and feel was amazing with a inner pump to adjust the fit..but didn't go for it because I wasn't sure if the helmet is genuine or fake, there was no certification embossed on the helmet and the guy was also quoting Rs.4750/- (online price)...

                          Any advice on SOL (SF vs SL) vs. Any other recommendations on good Helmet with budget of Rs.5k/- will be a Great help....

                          Thanks!

                              @ Daytona - I assume your question is directed at me, so here it is -

                              The SF01 and SL68s are two completely different models. The SF01 comes with a built in inner visor, while the SL68s does not. This means the SL68S is the lighter.

                              SOL/GMax helmets are sold in many countries around the world and if you check the review on the website, you will see that webbikeworld.com even selected the 68s as the "Motorcycle Helmet of the Year - 2007". The review can be seen here - WebBikeWorld Review.

                              I think you should read the review and comments carefully to assure yourself that you are getting a genuine quality product.

                              I cannot comment on graphic preferences since that is purely an individual perspective, and there are many owners of the SF01 who will engage you in hot debate over choice of graphics!

                              ---------------------------------------------------------------------

                              In a universe of men and machines, there is an individual who achieves the purest confluence of both worlds where he and the machine must become one - He is The Biker!
