Which Lid are you wearing now?
06/16/11 8:34 AM

What helmet do wear the most when you ride right now? I love my jolly roger but am thinking about buying a Suomy Chain Face. Anyone own a Suomy? How are there sizes in comparison to ICON and Arai? How is the wind noise?

Thanks! And post pics

I just bought a Skorpion 700 series. It's pretty good but had a TON of air rushing up under the chin bar. Luckily we found a wind block, by Skorpion, that fits this helmet. I think it should come with the helmet, it was that bad.

Other than that, and one of my wife's shield screws breaking, not too bad.

I've got a HJC FS-15 'Terror'. I like the graphics but I'll never get another. It is so noisy and the plastic air deflectors are delaminating. I really don't know what helmet I'm gonna get next but I need it yesterday. None of the new helmets appeal to me.

Shoei X11. Love it. Light weight and as far as wind noise, I always wear Moldex Pura-fit ear plugs while riding.

Hey TrainedKilla
I had the Shoei Multitech before my AGV and it served me very well for the 2 years I rocked it.
I Like Your Arai thats a nice looking Helmet!

Shoei X-11 Luthi.

Bought my first Shoei back in the 90's... I haven't purchased another brand since.

Thanks Snuffy! I like the Arai but I would like to have a second helmet just to switch it up a little.

I like the Suomy I posted but I have always wanted to try the Shoei also.

Dogo, a buddy in my club has a 10r just like that one with a different can. Runs like a beast!

Yes it does... ate pavement the first time I rode that thing... The 14 makes me cockey... the 10r keeps me humble.
