XTR helmets: anyone tried these?

[ruaphu]

I'm looking at trying out an adventurer type helmet to use over summer. Gonna use it on my my cruiser. Hopefully will give a bit more view, not as enclosed at the front and can ride with visor up (my bike has a screen) Not keen on open face types.

Hopng to be better than my limited room and vented full faced helmet that is great in winter/autum/spring, but gets hot as in summer and real chite to ride with visor up.

Thought I'd start with a budget model not having used this type of helmet before and see how it goes.

I found these XTR helmets on TM from emoto. Anyone heard of this brand or if any good???? or anyone recommend something suitable?

The one I'm looking at is the helmet on the right called the 'dual sport'

I'm using an XTR dual sprot helmet at the moment for the same reason (to see if i like the dual purpose type of helmet) its actually a lot quieter than i thought it would be for a cheap helmet, and seems quite comfortable on long trips, but at the end of the day it is a cheaper entry level helmet so you can't expect to much from it.

Cool as, thanks for that. Just one question, does it have any vents??

Yep, its got a front vent and a top vent, the front one is ok but the top one you don't really notice
