    Gonna buy a race helmet soon as I'm heading back for the track, so mines for sale and veery cheap.
    Got any pics? How cheap is veery cheap? may be interested if its a large, good for what ive said, and not bad looking

    Thanks

    i found the zeus adventure helmet very small fitting compared to other brands so make sure you try it before you buy - i almost brought one mail order before i tried it on

    as with any helmet, go and try them on before comitting to anything. I use closed fullface helmets and really liked the look of Arai back when I first bough a bike helmet (about 10 years ago) but they just aren't comfortable on me. I'm shoei through and through, had 3 and they all fit like a glove. (a face glove even!!!)

    Great value at $195.

    I close the visor 'till the material of my gloves thumb gets stuck. About half a click and it stays there quite well.
    Where in our fine city did you buy this, Nordie?

    Got them to get me one in to try on the understanding that it had to fit or I didn't want it.

    All the bike shops can get them.

    WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER Zeus helmet

    Purchased a Zeus for my first helmet. Cool art, didnt want to spend a fortune on the beginner gear. The visor held at high speeds, average air flow, not quiet, but not noisy, easy to remove pads to clean, visor fogs no matter what anti-fog cleaner used. All in all, an average beginner helmet.
    UNTIL.
    About a month in, the padding had softened so much around my head that it felt like whiplash when looking over my shoulder. I had purchased a size smaller, as recommended, but it softened so much that I felt like a bobble head. The shop wouldnt take it back, and I was stuck with tightening the chin strap so much it was near choking and padding it up about 3-4mm.
    I have purchased a JVC helmet and am happy with the fit. Though beware the helmet with pushdown visor. Quite noisy with the wind catching the lever on top of the helmet.

    Hope it helps.

    I got me a Zeus for my first helmet. Flip up front. The only problems that I have with it is that it is a bit on the heavy side, and its as loud as heck at 100ks. Other than that, it does its job. It just hasn't had a chance to do the life protection test yet.
