I've got a Nitro F347VN. Very light and areodynamic, and very well ventilated. Beats the shit out of my old Aero and Roof Boxer

I've done all the homework for you. Tried everything over a period of a few weeks earlier this year. Schuberth C3 won. It's perfect in every way.

I tried a mates that had the extra built in dark visor thing. It`s a drop down so can be used and isn`t illegal. I will try and find the name, it was pretty good really. |

the C3 has that, along with a lot of flip front helmets. i think there is an ordinary helmet with the internal visor as well, but cant remember the make |

What's the fascination with flipping? I've taken too many chunks out of full face lids to wear anything inferior. |

I had that idea the previous time I changed lids, but satisfied myself this year that a flip-front is not structurally inferior. The sheer discomfort of removing a well-fitting lid half a dozen times a day (hot weather, wet weather, cold weather each bring their own disadvantages) is enough to sway me to a good flip-front. It's wonderful at toll booths, petrol stations, slow traffic & if you need to talk to anyone. (Unless they happen to be saying "Please remove your helmet, Sir, Is this your vehicle?") ... and yes, mine's black too, and yes, the white primer shows through from all those armoured flies .... |
