Thread: New helmet: best I've ever worn

    New helmet: best I've ever worn

    got me first REAL FITTING helmet today, ok so i started on a half face "BUBBLE HEAD" scootler helmet, then moved to a afer full face but an asian brand, i only wanted the dual visor thingy, then today my 1tonne modular helmet arrived today, it was not only more than i expcted but it actually snugly fits too!!! it wanst flat red but GLOSS RED!! i thought it was flat so thats a bonus, it also flips up and its dual visor so its better than my old one =) and safer cause it is 1tonne and not a shitty aisan brand, best 200$ i ever spent in my oppinion =)

    i have attached some pix of my 3 helmets =)
    even the airvents are propper, ill be able to breathe properly in the morning fog now =)

    now to go for a ride up to titirangi to see how well it performs ( the air vents not the crashing )

    On a side note; when taking pictures with a digital camera press the button half way down , pause (and the camera will adjust its focus) and then press it the rest of the way down.

    That way you'll get nice sharp pictures each time!

    Yeah I have been eyeing up those dual visor 1tonne helmets! The look pretty good!

    The fit is very snug... I had to return mine cos my head/face is too big (aka wrong shape )
    The helmet is quite heavy too. Nice features though!

    If you feel comfortable in your new helmet, that is great.

    I've just looked on the map and Japan and Korea are both in Asia. Unless North Korea's done something we don't know about yet?

    Nice helmet. Flip-up is the way to go
    Well surely it's one of the most comfortable.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Just cause you dont ride fast doesnt mean you dont need to have a good, well developed helmet like an Arai or Shoei.
    My Arai is the bestest ever!
    Where were the 1tonne helmets made? Whats the shell made of?
    Who has been doing the saftey testing? What saftey standard do they come with?
