new helmet... suggestions?
ive been looking for a new one, and so far, i like these two from bell
bell 360 view but ive only owned one bell helmet (low end, 8yrs ago) and dont really have any exp with their new stuff. current helmet is a scorpion, fits really good, but ive had it for awhile and its time for a new one soon. hjc's carbon helmets look pretty nice, and are also in the budget. trying not to go over 220... any suggestions, tips, super goood deal finds?

i've seen that exact HJC in person and in the sunlight...it really is the tits! good luck...i just picked up the Nolan Casey Stoner rep for pennies! this past winter i got a new Thor MX helmet, which is also street legal and since we've been having amazing weather down here the owner of the dealership i work at is letting me ride some of our demos and that is what i've been using. heading down to the Keys tomorrow...

I'd take that Bell over any HJC any day! BTW Joe Rocket sells practically the same lid for $200.
http://www.compacc.com/p.cfm/c/2002001/p/20012 If you can find your way to $300, CompAcc has quite a few Arai and Shoei lids on sale for 1/2 off. |

I like my bell it's just old fit great when it was new. But the scorpions or sharks are great as well.
Not a fan of the HJC fit. |

How is the Bell Star fit and quality? Haven't heard much about them.
There are other Star designs linked on that page for $200.

Stop focusing on looks and find a helmet that fits your head first? I looked at all those helmets too (HJC Carbon, Bell Star, etc) but bought an X-11 because it fit my head better than anything else out there. Yeah, my credit card wasn't too happy about it.
BTW webbikeworld.com is by far the best site out there for researching helmets. They're the only ones that try to give you a sense of helmet shape for head fit. |
