All great suggestions....fit, comfort, safety, style

I also include functionality on my priority for a helmet.......


...........for me the SHARK Evoline series III is a great choice!


Teh modular function allows me to ride open face at top end speeds or full helmet at the flip of a hand.

Being able to talk (communicate at lights or parking) while wearing a helmet is important

The roll down eye shades make sunshine or night always doable...

Yeah The shark is the most fuctional helmet around I reckon. The drop down eye shades the best feature IMO. They won`t let me use one for the track over here so I had to buy an Aria vector. Much lighter and quiter, but I miss the Shark which I only can use for the road now.

I use a KBC FFR, I like it. especially now that I repainted it to match my bike.
Back in 2009 I did a write up on it for the VMOA's Vboost magazine. Attached below.



I updated the article after I removed my fly screen.

Best way is what was already mentioned......go to a few stores and try different brands on. Find a helmet/size that's comfortable.....buy it there or online. I don't have an "Arai head"....just don't fit me well. Shoei's, OTOH, fit great.....I have a few Multitechs (flip-up) and a few Qwests (full face)....the latter is the best-fitting style I have found....for me....so far. Others may disagree, but IMHO earplugs are a must unless you consider hearing a luxury once you hit old age [ whatever that is] ....if you've never worn them, you can get 'em cheap online from earplugstore.com. Long time ago I bought their foam plug "sampler" [www.earplugstore.com/unfoamtrialp1.html]....found two that fit me best, bought a box of each........way less to do it that way.

Vic maybe it's the Fried Chicken and lack of exercise during your recovery lol

I think most of you have an Arai helmet and I found that Arai have positive feedbacks from their customers

Also I found this online store that sells affordable Arai helmet and they also have good reviews

What do you think? They have wide collection of Arai helmets and other brands.

You won`t go wrong with an Arai Alice. As said before "make sure the sales person checks that it fits your head properly" A "little tight snug fit" and it will adjust to your head in a week or so of riding.
