Thread: Quest for perfect helmet!

I think that only actual users with really honest opinions can help the most! If they want to get involved and write few words here. Something like FZ6Sa wrote. Some people here have more than several helmets and in that case it is much easier to produce educated opinion. I have only one and didn't have a chance to try others so I couldn't tell. All I can say about my helmet is that it's no good and I need much better.

This is the Dealer I use: http://www.louis.de/_10b0864ef83b311...=5&new_step=36 It's German, - but you can more or less guess everything. (My german sucs )

I bought a Scorpion EXO 1000 about a month ago and haven't had a better helmet! Quiet..check Vented...Check Comfort...Check No fog...Check (I tryed and it won't have it!) Wind...check (on our bikes aero matters for the helmet and this one does great all the way up to 100mph +) Price...Check ($260)

I really like my Shoei RF-1000. It doesn't have a chin spoiler, sun visor or bluetooth. But I really like the fit, quietness, and look. I can wear headphones or earplugs with it. And swapping out the dark smoke for clear visor isn't that bad. It's pretty simple but very nice, a no-nonsense helmet. That Element helmet is really cool though. Just told my friend about that one recently as he's a gadget guy. If he gets it...

Check webBikeWorld for great reviews on helmets. my next helmet is gonna be the Schuberth S3 once I get a second job to afford it..

The single most important thing in a helmet is FIT. If it doesn't fit your head correctly it's useless. The helmets you have listed all have different shell shapes and some won't fit your head. It's VERY important to try on helmets before buying and wear them at least 20-30 minutes in the shop to see how they feel after a while. Any good bike shop won't mind you hanging out with a helmet on. Good luck!

They also still allow you to hear important sounds if you get some decent ones. I have always worn Earpulgs I don't use an intercom if I want to talk to someone I'm riding with I pull over a talk to them ! I don't think intercoms are a good idea...
