Flip top helmets

[june125]

I haven't come across any recent talk about helmets and wondered what the most popular ones are and what the general consensus is re flip tops?

Flip tops are convinient if you need to talk to people without taking your helmet off.

They are noisier & heavier than normal helmets.

I love my Nolan N43 jet helmet. With the Varadero screen I can leave the visor up at all speeds if I want. Certainly not heavy as it doesn't have a mouth section. Plus it takes the neat N-Com speakers that make using the phone or iPod easy. I do have a full face but I get claustrophobic with it plus the all round vision is not so good. It's personal preference.

Well i love my shark Evoline Series 3 Fusion it lets me have my cake and eat it.

Its legal either up


or down.


So most of the time i can ride with it up and feel the wind in my hair (beard hair), but if its cold or wet i can just drop it while riding and its a full face lid.

and not too scary a price, and has a few fun colors if your not in to white like i am

The Shark Evoline looks very good, an unusual style having the fliptop go right back. Don't think I need to worry about the wind in my beard-not yet anyway. Will try that out as I'm looking for a new one. Thanks.

Schuberth C3 Pro for me - utterly fabulous lid 

Weight isn't too bad at all, super comfy, very quiet, super easy visor removal and refit, top notch build quality - the only down side is it's a damned pricey bit of kit.
