Well, I guess I will show mine, and my granddaughters two helmets. My other helmet, not shown, is an older HJC Modular Helmet I still wear when it its over 90F here, which it will by next month probably.

I do add reflecting tape.

My only complain about Glamster is the noise. Compare to my previous Shoei NXR it’s a lot more noisier, even with earplugs I cannot say I can make it comfortable for long rides.

According to the tests done by Champion helmets- the Glamster is actually 1 DB quieter than the NXR.

Of course that is assuming the helmet fits you well. Different helmets, even in the same size from the same company can fit different.

I installed the chin vent screen on mine, adjusted the visor carefully to make sure it mated with the seal- and used the included oil to lube the seal.

I have both glamster and NXR in hands, both the same size and with chin curtain. NXR is definitely much quieter, I even ride it without earplugs most of the time. Glamster is challenging to ride without earplugs.

It can be due to a position of CB1100RS, don’t know.

Same size doesn’t mean same shape- or same size for that matter.

Angle does make a difference on any helmet- so yah results can vary on different bikes.

That being said- champion uses electronic test tools in real world- but try to be consistent- test measurement.

I wanted a helmet with a classic style to match the retro vibe of my EX. I considered getting another Bell Custom 500 or a [url=https://www.biltwellinc.com/blogs/wtf/real-world-road-test-honda-cb1100ex]Biltwell Gringo. Ultimately, though, I settled on an [url=https://www.agv.com/us/en/full-face/x3000/]AGV X3000.

It's a really light helmet but also very quiet. And I really like having the full-face protection. The only thing was that stupid AGV logo on the front. I may like their helmet, but I don't want to be a billboard for them.

No problem! I just made up a sticker of the correct size for a brand I would rather be representing.

Classy-lookin' helmets moto_hero.

If you make up some more of those stickers moto-hero, if I can afford them I'd take a couple

I have seen that helmet quite a bit, it is one of the better looking retros out there. Personally I don't mind the AGV logo though.

They’re Italian right? I’d put a big SPQR on mine

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

I've had a few Italian helmets and their shell and strap execution were well executed. In both cases, however, the other mechanical bits tended to deteriorate with use, unlike my mainstream HJC, Arai, and Shoei offerings. But overall, Italian offerings were the most fashionable.

I love my Schucberth C3 pro helmet. The flip-up lid is a great feature. The helmet is light and very streamlined. It is worth the money.

Going back to the jimgl3's original question / point, it's true that a lot of great helmets are sold in Europe that aren't sold in the US. But, that doesn't mean you can't buy online and have the dealer ship you the helmet you want.

The best looking helmets are the ones so covered in stickers that you can't tell who the mfr is.

 

[Rox_imp]

Stickered up helmets..

Stickered up helmets..

Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

 

[tommymck]

I dig how this sort of matches the bike. I had the helmet before I re-did the tank, so I'm not as goofy as it might seem...

 

[the Ferret]

THAT is a great looking CB 1100
