Hi guys, I'm looking for a open fave helmet, one that I don't look like Marvin the Martian.. I like the cannonball helmet, but it's not Australian standards... Can someone help with a good helmet please..
Nex or xrh but you'll need to try them on as not all helmets fit well on all heads
What have you got against Marvin?
For anyone who cares, peter Stevens online store has the bell 500 open faces for $69 at the mo..
+1 for the Nex, it was the lowest profile I could get and it's comfortable. good helmet for the price.
Any one who has grabbed one from Peter Stephens what size do you normally wear,what size did you order and are they the same size??? I usually wear an xxl so wondering if one of there's in an xxl will be the same....
Sparra. I had to go a size up with the bell. Normally a med to large depending on the make. With the bell the large fits but is tight, so this time I went XL just to have a tad more room..
If you have the coin these are a very good helmet. http://www.shoei-helmets.com/Helmet.aspx?J-Cruise&h=23&t=1
I took two of these to the states (one for the wife) and did 12k klms through all sorts of weather. Torrential rain, above 40 degree heat right down to minus temps in Canada. Not a drop inside. The retractable sun shield negates the use of sun glasses (no more pain above the ears).
One drawback was the speaker recesses weren't quite deep enough for the HD OEM intercom sets. 20 mins and a little care with a small knife sorted that out.
Bell 500 arrived from the peter Stevens sale and the small is fine for me, as I mentioned I'm a small in shoei, agv and arai.. But a medium in a bell bullit..
I use a kbc open face fits perfect
