Show your lid

[Nemo_imp]

Let's see your helmet(s). I don't want this to be about the qualities we think make ours the best out there. Just show them and if there's a story behind it, tell it.

In my case, it seems my head was designed and manufactured by HJC because it is the only brand I've tried that have felt comfortable. On the left my 3/4 FG-Jet and on the right my modu IS-Max Elemental.



Whatcha got?

Have a silver Bell RS-1 (bought on clearance) with their transitions photo-chromic face shield which works VERY well in all light conditions. No longer need to worry about having a separate pair of sunglasses along since the face shield does it all smoothly and unobtrusively. Ventilation is well-designed and effective, but the overall effect is a bit of a noisy helmet. The Proline full-wrap neoprene chin/neck curtain makes a big difference in keeping the wind noise lower.

BTW, the extra bit on the side of the helmet is a U-Clear 100 Plus wireless unit that works pretty well for the price. Speakers are inside and there is no microphone boom to get in the way. Range can be up to 4/10 of a mile, and overall clarity and ease of use provide good value for the money.

Cool, Fritz! I have a Sena SMH10 system with a "docking" on each lid. Can't get away from the boom mic when using an open face or a modu.

Okay, I'll play! Here are my primary helmets. I have two others that collect dust and didn't make the cut.

Er, not to be picky, but it looks like the caption ought to read (from L to R): Bell Vortex, Bell RS-1, Biltwell Bonanza, and Bell Bullitt...

Sorry fritz, but I'm not following. RS-1 has the Roland Sands design. Vortex is white. Bullitt is blue. Bonanza is black. Left to right as stated. Even reversed (if you're taking the viewpoint of the helmets looking out), it would be Bonanza, Bullitt, Vortex, then RS-1.

Er, my bad, as they say. Sorry, got confused between each pair of helmets (got them reversed).

BTW, MG, nice overall selection for different purposes and riding moods...!

Being a resident of Oregon the term lid means something entirely different.

Nice arsenal, Metally!

Talk to me about the Bonanza... How do you like the bubble shield?
