My Arai for riding in the rain on the road

You can't include crashed helmets btw, just current ones

I dunno what does it matter.
I replied to your email mckeann, not sure if you got it or not. Yours went to my junk folder so check there if you haven't seen it.
MTB do you have a clear favourite to wear? I've tried loads of helmets and tend to find certain brands way more comfortable than others. I can't get on with any of the full shark range for example so it must be a bit of a lottery when you order all these helmets.

Just seems weird to me that you love a bargain so much, but you have bought 6 helmets. You can only wear one at a time, wouldn't you be better buying 1 or 2 s
t hot too of the range helmets than multiple st ones???
I got an AGV when I passed my test. It's past its best so just as a garage lid t hot too of the range helmets than multiple st ones???I bought an Arai believing the hype. It's s
t. Heavy, visors crap but it is sound proof so good for motorways. I bought a bell because it was cheap. But it's a top of the range one. It's the best helmet out of all them.
I bought another one at 90 for this reason. Ill no doubt crash within the next 12 months so handy to have at that price.
I bought the nolan cause I got it for under 300 quid and I've wanted it for ages. The hizzy lid well that was a one off and meant to be perfect it was s
t. You only ride on track. I do road as well and a fair bit of miles. It was pissing it down on Sunday for most of it but I still stayed out.
I could buy a few decent expensive lids. But I'd sooner buy two cheap very good helmets for the track that I can fling in the bin if I hit my head knowing I only had to stay a few hours on a Friday to pay for them
Bells arent cheap s
t. Far better than Arai, better in ways that your x lite 90 for a helmet like that is a fking bargain SAS Tom said:

The bells fantastic to be honest probably the best then the nolan. MTB do you have a clear favourite to wear?

The Arai and AGV are s
t. I'd get a Shoei but never seen a design I like.

Cheers Mate, just seen it in junk folder and have responded. Thanks a lot. MTB do you have a clear favourite to wear?

Brand is no guarantee of helmet fit, as manufacturers try to have helmets in their range with different types of fit, so they have something they can sell you
this is probably the best site ive found for helmet reviews as they compare the shape of the liner...its a good start to understanding if something is going to fit like the helmet you already have
still no substitute for trying on though....

Bell Carbon M5X turned up today, looked great, really light, but sadly couldn't even get on my head! So sending it back for a bigger size. It's a large, the same size as my shoei XR1100, so just a heads up (no pun intended) that you might need a size bigger than usual if you have a "Shoei head" like mine....
