Default Quick question, white or black lid?

Wife is buying me an enduro lid for xmas but ive gotta order it myself, ive decided on the Airoh S4 as it seems a good lid for the money (dont wanna spend loads as it will get abused while green laning)

I was set on white tbh but having sencond thoughts now, whats peoples thoughts?






Cheers

There is a higher accident rate for those wearing black helmets (due to lower visibility). Office Gov reports on the web if you want to search for yourself.
PS. I have a white helmet, every little helps

I usually go for light lids too, but this is just for green laning and getting to and from on a crosser (so 10foot tall anyway) I'm guessing. Whatever you prefer, I'd go for black personally.

I actually prefer the look of the white lid tbh, but i know from my partial arai road lid, it does get dirty quick.

Looks like peeps are saying white

Ive have / had two black bikes, i think they look ace, no other colour looks as good when polished up.

This is a matt black lid btw so will never look shiny.

Looks like neither come with breathing apparatus for underwater excursions , perhaps look for one with a snorkel attachment ?
