    Speed & Strength... Spin Doctor... it's ok for a $160 helmet.

    I bought it for the flip down visor, speed-release latches, styling, venting, and better airflow being a 3/4 helmet. I'd buy another one in a pinch, but given the luxury to shop around and see what else is out there, I'd do that. The helmet seems really noisy, even with the vents closed.

    Bell Revolver modular, but it's driving me crazy cuz the right side makes a creaking noise while I'm riding. Gonna see if a can exchange it.

    I really want a Shoei Neotec.

    I have a Shoei RF1200 and another Shoei 3/4 helmet, which is what I wear most often. I am considering trying a Nolan N44 if it fits my head shape. I would like to have the flexibility that it offers and the very wide field of view.

    Joe Rocket Carbon Pro 3/4 for both the wife and me. Changed from a O'Neal Commander full face. Dislike the loss of peripheral vision with a full face.

    The only one I have ever found that fits my size 8 1/4 melon is.....
    Attachment 12542

    This is only one that really fits and I can wear all day and night in all types of conditions without it squeezing my ears, locking my jaw, cutting off my peripheral vision or muting the outside sounds so I feel like I'm in an isolation chamber.

    Do I wish I could get something with a hell of a lot more protection and internal speakers and fit properly?...Hell yea, but so far I have not found one, and before anyone says brand will fit... I have about 10 helmets on the shelf or hanging on the shop wall like a full face Shoie Z, very expensive and bought so I could race on the track, a Bell 3/4 to a brand new XXX large Scorpion that everyone saied would fit(it didn't) along with a few others.
    I wish I had half the $ back I have spent over the years trying to find the perfect fitting MC helmet

    Attachment 12543

    Oh I almost forgot...It's a $35 novelty helmet, not legal or safe anywhere...

    Update. Traded it in and ordered a Shoei Neotec. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to helmets.
