Well after much ado from here to there trying this on and that i popped over to groombridges today and came away with a shoei qwest matt black with red detailing 1st ride tomorrow morning woop!!

 

Have RX7 , bought it c ause it's the best blah blaah....

...butfavourite lid is Arai Chaser , more comfy day long, quiet and great vents

 

i tried em all the rx7, quantum and chaser/v and the qwest just slipped on like a glove (guess i have a shoei head)

 

dont supose i could be so rude as to ask how much it cost may i? lookingat purchasing one and weighing up some pros and cons at moment

 

Cost me £349 from groombridges with the pinlock inset visor.
Have seen a few websites selling for the same price but adding some freebies. Plain colours are around £60ish less.

Great lid did 200+ miles today in all sorts of weather on a/b roads and a stint on the motorway.

 

did you get the "bloodflow" design ?

 

Ooohh, I like that, sort of Darth Maul ish?


Perhaps not!!!

 

Yup that's the one

 

Was in Seaford the other day and always pop by the shop to see what he has, but the shop was gone

 

Mmmm - 'new helmet' smell...

 

Well it was 3am and pitch black...

 

Hmmm, Im never sure exactly what you are paying all that extra money for, tests have shown that those expensive helmets dont provide that much more protection proportionately to how much more they cost because there is a minimum amount of protection that helmets must offer and that is already very high. Correct me if Im wrong. I am sold on the Nitros, they look great, are so comfy, inexpensive, and they are the only helmet Ive owned that doesnt mist up.

 

I have always had Shark ones cost nothing else fits properly. Always manage to get one at a good price by having last years colour scheme.

 

its not only price but fit...I agree, there are alot of very reasonably priced helmets out there that score 4-5 Stars on the sharp system. An ill fitting well scoring helmet (cheap or expensive) will do more damage in my opinion. You just need to get the best fitting, best protection within your budget...and then of course people like names and graphics too, but that is an individual choice and how much extra you pay for that...

 

ive had a caberg trip for the last 2 1/2 years and that was only £80 . been a great lid, 5 stars on sharp.. only issue i have now is that the mechanism has worn out, the wind noise is fairly noticable and the ventilation is rubbish. would buy another one but they are discontinued and the replcament gets slated by reviews... will see if i can pick one up cheap at the nex show in nov tho.
