Name your helmet!

[PolarExpress]

Out of curiosity... name your helmet(s)!

Also, I'm looking for something quieter than my current one... any recommendations? I've heard Schuberths are supposed to be quiet?

[RemaL]

my new lid is a Marushin Carbon and my other lid is a Arai Viper GT

both great lids and fit me well

Mine's an extra small RX7 Corsair because I have a head like a small, garden pea.

Have a AGV Airtech but compared to my old Nitro its really noisy. Don't ride at all now without plugs but I'd rather wear them now to be honest. My bike sounds like its about to blow up if I ever forget them lol.

mine's an Arai Condor, and is one of the few helmets that seem to fit me as I have a head shaped like the Alien (according to one of my mates)

Interesting - I was looking at the Marushin Carbon as it was a good fit (I also have an Arai, but GP5X). But is the Marushin quiet? Quieter than the ViperGT?

Mine's an Arai RX7 Corsair in Haga colours, love it! I've tried a few different lids and far prefer Arai.

My Shoei Interceptor recently gave way to a Suomy Spec 1-R. I actually rate the suomy superior to the Shoei for noise and comfort.

Dang, sorry forgot the Suomy in the poll.

If anyone is wondering, AGV/HJC etc are grouped as I couldn't add anymore poll options!

I'm on my second shoei raid 2. I broke my first one so got another. Best lid I've had so far.

I call mine Jeremy ! ??????
(I thought I was only one who gave their helmet a name)

Shoei XSpirit - Vermeulen in black. Fantastic lid, very light and very comfortable.

I'm on my 2nd Arai after trying out several inferior types.

My first Arai managed to take full impact after being highsided. Paint was chipped and a small crack appeared. I have kept the helmet to remind me what these things can do.

I've just got an Arai Phil Read replica a couple of months back. I had the Shoei XR1000 in Kagyama colours berfore that!

I wish I'd started wearing Arais earlier, it's really comfortable and all the vents work well too!

Glad to hear it served the purpose well. Just reading the Sharp tests... the tests sound more comprehensive than before. Some interesting results, although I'm uncertain as to what 1 star really means vs 5 stars.

Shoei X-Spirit Vermulen in yellow. Fits great and very easy visor changeout. Cuts through the air really well - while on the bike that is...not while doing a Lorenzo 15ft highside

Tha Marushin carbon for the money is a very good lid. my Arai is only a year old but loved the look of the Marushin. its quieter then my Araiand weights nothing at all. very impressed with it too

I have a Schuberth C2 and it is very quiet, even though it is a flip front. If it fits you (you need a "German" shaped head!) then I would say it's worth considering.
