Not got the boxer but I do have he diversion.

It's a great lid and very quiet. I have crashed one and it it did it's good well so I bought another.

Only down side is the visor change can be a pain in the neck, no where near as easy as the shoei or arai. Once you get the hang of it you can do it in a minute or so.

The Div is a good choice and I have heard good things about the boxer, however I have also heard it can be a bit noisey due to the flip front.

Cheers

linco - What is the verdict on the Boxer??? I'm very interested in one, just a bit concerned about wind noise and fogging up.

hey pork chop, sorry for the late reply have been away for a while! the boxer is a nice helmet. to be honest its best feature for me are the looks. it is a comfortable helmet too, and its light. wind noise is fine but bare mind that i never go over about 65 being on a 125 scooter!

fogging is quite bad actually so i just leave the bottom of the visor up a touch. though this is a pain when its raining! all in all, i'd give it 7/10, maybe 8.

hope this helps

just wondering if there are any web sites that sell them besides designerhelmets.com

for online sales try http://www.frontiersmc.co.uk/acatalog/index.html they stock roof helmets.

they're in south west london but do mail order via their www. i've got the roof diversion (from them) which is fine, although annoyingly the visor got some grit caught behind it and has scratched the helmet quite badly when i opened the visor.

frontiers will also sell you a dark visor strictly for track use of course

very light but also very noisy...mists up badly...only really good for short jouirneys in good weather

checked one of these out at the bike show and was a little concerned that the 'flip up' bit is secured by a couple of pop-studs

not the kind of thing id be happy to rely on in a crash!

Get a Fogcity AF insert

I would recommend a Pinlock AF , as in my experience they seem to work better, plus they can be removed and cleaned, unfortunately they don't seem to do them yet for the ROOF helmets.
