I wear glasses off and on with contacts and for example I find the Shoei I wear everyday to be rather fine with them, but the HJC I wear on weekends etc aint the best with themOriginally Posted by Motig
so make sure you try them on with glasses if you do wear them.

Yeah I do wear glassess. Maybe getting contacts soon. What about sunny's - just get a tinted visor? How easily are they interchangeable?

Who's got pointers about what to look for?
I have seen your head so any helmet covering that ugly mug of yours would be helpful for all of us

Thats another threadWhen I read that story, it also looked like the cl (presumably the 14 as well) was also excluded... and given that quite a few of us wear cl14's??
From all that I have read, and I could be wrong, SNELL approved helmets are better than only DOT... and SNELL pass both, so if money can afford it, make sure its SNELL.
As people say, $5 helmet protects a $5 head... even if you aren't made of money, you do only have 1 head...

Just bought a Nolan N102 $599.00, anti fog visor that really works, this is about the 20th helmet I've owned and the best, it is also set up so that sounds can be fitted. http://www.helmetharbor.com/streethe...an/opening.htm
What I was looking for was a helmat that was snug and comfortable and ablve all aerodinamic. To many helmets I have owned in the past have had a tendancy to try and lift at speed.
Some times I sits and thinks, sometimes I just sits....

Snell and Dot are not reconised by LTSA, all helmets that come into NZ are marked with either AS1698 (australian silver and red sticker on outside of helmet) or ECE standard (european, white sticker or sew on patch normally on the strap, current one starts with 05 in serial number) the australian standard is actually higher, but most meat both and just come with one sticker on them
as for fitting, try some different helmets on and see shat fits better, your head is different to every one elses, the main reason SHoei's and Arai are dearer is they make different shells for each size, wear the Asian manufactures make one shell for 2 or 3 sizes and jsut put extra padding in the smaller size, SHoei and Arai also make a shell for european countries and a shell for asian countries for different shapped heads.
Immature and proud of it.
Snell most definitely is. DOT is only recognised if the helmet is manufactured in the US.
Speed doesn't kill people.
Stupidity kills people.

Wierd that isnt it, is DOT different in differnt parts of the world or is it just our crazy laws?

Not a bike shop person BUT here's an idea - little mini wind tunnel at roughly shoulder height with a helmet sized aperture in the bottom. Customer tries on Helmet, inserts head into said aperture - shop person turns mini wind tunnel on, customer turns head from side to side and decides on helmet.
Bike Shop people - would you buy such a thing?
Do you think it would help you upsell helmets?
How much would you be prepared to pay for such a piece of equipment?
Has anyone had this idea before me or should I nip off to the Patent office?
Cheers
