Who Makes the Preferred Helmet?

[BusaPebbles]

I have 4 Scorpion Helmets...They are the best...and not ridiculously priced like Shoei and Arai....

I like my Nolan N 100 Classic. I've installed the external sun visor. This helmet fits well but due to it's flip face bar it isn't as quiet as a non flip model but for me with glasses it's great. I've had a local artist air brush some graphics and it's looks cool and different.

didn't see it in the poll list, but I have a rocket. they seem to fit my alien sized cranium better than any of the others. i've had shoei, arai, & an hjc. i like my hjc mx helmet, but like the street version. arai was to damn noisy, and the shoei, while comfortable, didn't quite fit my dome.

Good consensus of all these pages. Our heads are like snowflakes, and fit is going to vary for everyone. Finish is another matter. I know only Shoei and Arai up close, and their quality seems great. Apparently Shark deserves a look . I have an RF1000 which I love, but when I really hit the curves, my old faithful RF900 is the one. It just feels like it was made for my noggin .

How am I supposed to choose when there are 50+ helmets in the collection at home?

if you have 50+ helmets, you have ..... 1)too much time on your hands, 2) way too damn much money

Can I vote regarding the hockey helmet the doctor says i need to wear when im outside?

 

[Cookie]

I couldn't vote properly because Schuberth Helmet's weren't a choice!

[Oilfieldtrash]

I have had HJC, then Craft, now KBC (VR1x). So far the KBC is the fav.

I ordered the Icon Inferno and it showed up broken. The replacement showed up broken too. I then went to Scorpion EXO-1000. I likey!

The Mrs and I just got new Shoei helmets. We haven't used them yet, but they look awesome. The cheek pads in my RF-1000 were way too thick, so I called Shoei to ask about getting thinner ones. They promptly offered to exchange the pads for me, free of charge. They were very helpful, and the turnaround was same day. So, I don't have much of an opinion about the functionality of their helmets just yet, but I can say that they have great customer service.
Oh, I almost forgot about the

The Florida heat & humidity is coming soon. Which helmet provides max cooling / ventilation along with superior protection?

 

[B1GTED]

1. Arai (2 lids)
2. Shoei (2 lids)

Even though my current helmet is my #2 choice.... The arai I had just fit better. But the Shoei is a great helmet.

Shoei RF1000 Great Lid.

Arai RX7 in my opinion has very superior cooling. I have never broken a sweat in mine, even in the middle of summer. I am in south Florida.
