Helmet with tinted "glasses"

[gijoe1313]

Schuberth are just about the most flaming expensive helmet ever hahaha. Well, there are probably much more expensive helmets, but they're like $1500, innit? I wouldn't value my head at $1500, lol, and neither would most other people (value my head, that is)

Isn't that more than what you paid for your ride? Mind you, if there was a mil-spec aviation helmet that was road approved, I might just gee-up the dinero 'cause I'm a sucker for things like that!

Casberg..who was that. sounds like a French perfume.
If it was at the sprints then it was me. If I can post a link then go here or do a KB search for Caberg.

The Nolan has an outside flap that covers the top 1/3 of your visor. The Scuberth's also only comes down part way. Mine has a jetfighter shaped inner visor, that sort of wraps around your nose & cheeks and retracts up into the top of the helmet. Caberg make a flip up as well but I went with the full face. Bit of wind noise at times but other than that it's a fantastic lid. Lots of goodie features. Who cares, I like it and when the light changes the ease with which you can lower or raise the sunshade is fun.
You can't get them in NZ. I had to buy from the UK.
edit- link worked. See p2 of that thread for better pics and the flip up model.

What would be really neat would be a prescription-ground visor. That would obviate the need for the wearing of spectacles and their associated issues, such as fogging in winter...

MD, how much was your Caberg? I like the look of that better than the Schuberth.

HXC PM Lou, he sells the type of helmet you're after at AMPS, I can't remember the make, but he'l;l help ya out...

The Belfast shop replied. 85 pounds to courier to NZ! That's $255. You might think that's taking the piss but the others were around 78 quid.

The helmet was 99 quid at most of the on-line shops but 90 at Scottimkights who I used.
Still works out better than an up market Italian helmet sold here. Not that we can even get an equivalent here, with internal visor, adjustable length buckles.

Edit: They're going to send mine standard airmail 41 quid

well shit me he says right there

To be helpful or not? Now if I help you and you get one, then mine wont be a unique skid lid anymore! I think you might find some UK stores now at GBP90 ($270-$300 then add freight!) Check out the Nolan (about $475?) and contact Lou at AMPS before you decide. Oh, and where did I get mine, Lands for Bags of course.

I have the Nolan which has the Sun visor on the out side.. which I like http://www.nolan.it/home.asp Though I would probably prefer one of of the others...

[Sketchy_Racer]

i just use visor inserts.... they work well for me and are cheap

It's a Schuberth, they're only $999 to $1160, around Shoei/Arai money so NOT the most expensive helmet in the world. The BMW carbon probably has that honour in the bike world.
But the Schuberth are absolutely superb helmets.
Although I still like my Nolan, I'd get a Schuberth C2 if the CFO allowed it. In fact, I might buy her one because she does like her Ipod on the move and the quietness of the C2 would be a real plus for her.
