I love my Arai Quatum II. The new ICONs are nice too.

I use an HJC CL-15 because it was the only helmet that fit my head comfortably, though i havent tried on a shark yet

shoei was the only brand

Submitted by Jiriki on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 03:00.

shoei was the only brand that fit my head... apparently my head has expensive tastes... try them all on, find what fits best.... protection is all the same (just differences in aerodynamics and venting)

saw that megaspaz had a fog shield in his helmet this morning... i used to have these on my parents car back in the day... didn't realize we could get 'em for moto helmets... (that was for shoei)

Shark seems as a competitor

Shark seems as a competitor of the shoei rf-1000 with its rsr2 with also loadz&lotz of graphics...and araii kind of seems 'better' but shape of all categories are +/- same but I love shoei too :D ..but shark tempts me :S

hey guys don't laugh it that loud but I was wondering what was the use/importance of the kind of two D-like rings that were hanging to where you attach your helmet??

Not sure I understand your question. But the D rings are *how* you attach the helmet, if that is what you are asking. threading the strap through the d-rings in the specific manner makes for a very simple and extremely secure attachment mechanism. Much much better than plastic clips use on bicycle helmets.

I am in the process of reviewing the HJC FS-10 (the one that looks like a fighter helmet!) and I want it to fit my head soooooo bad! I am in between sizes it seems in HJC. Great freaking helmet, I just wish my head was shaped differently. Expect the review in a couple days.

That's my helmet! I love it

That's my helmet! I love it so. Although yesterday in high wind situations if I tilted my chin up I occasionally got this weird whisltle from my top vent.
The built in sunglasses are The Greatest. The only drawback is that if I forget to take sunglasses along with me once I get to my destination I have none. But I guess that's true of tinted visors too.

i'm guessing you don't have prescription glasses... Anyone know if these flip down sunglasses fit over prescription glasses?

Hmmm....it would be very close. The tinted visor is a good 1/2" INSIDE the helmet's real visor. I would try one on with your glasses on.
