What kind of Motorcycle Helmet Should I Get?

Aug 11, 2006 by inmodwetrust | Posted in Motorcycles

I am universal to get a new helmet to wear with my vintage vespa and my sport bike. I want something SNELL and DOT that is well-ventilated and very lightweight. Filthy lucre is not really much of an object but i'd like to stay below 400 or 350 normal retail bonus. I'm considering Suomy, AGV, Arai or Shoei. Let me know!

No one, not even the supplier, can answer this. Go to your local dealer grab each different model from one manufacturer and try them on and compare. Go to the next producer and repeat, etc.... take the one from each manufacturer and compare again. Don't look at the price, just compare how it feels. Keep in brainpower while comparing that the padding will loosen in a week (maybe two), so get a helmet that's very, very, snug. It should press your cheeks in and should be relaxing around top of head (not giving you a headache). Keep each helmet on for a few minutes(walk around the store even). When you finally narrow it down you may then look at the penalty. It may be $450+ , but at least you'll get a better idea why. Also, (very important) ask the dealer to tell you which helmets have the options to coins cheek pad thickness. Arai (and some higher-end shoei's) let you change the thickness so if you find a helmet that fits unequalled around the top of your head but doesn't feel right at the cheeks, this will help greatly which is another reason for the fetch so keep that into consideration if you pick out a $450+ helmet. I'm not sure about AGV or Suomy. I do know Arai helmets with those features can be purchased around $350-$400 prime white or black color (Colors add $30 - $50. Graphics can add $100+ to the price) There are other options such as removealbe liner, etc. that choose price... Half, three quarter, and flip-up hybrid are NOT snell approved. Look for snell sticker on back of helmet.
