Default NEED HELP!! WHAT HELMET TO GET!!

I have a Shark S800 and it was ok a first but since the winter weather has arrived the cold winds sneak in and i can't see for my streaming ears, need a quiet well sealed helmet that looks nice and doesn't bankrupt me.

Am thinking of an open-faced but not sure.

Open Faced...in Winter.... I wouldn't recommend it.

HJC helmets are cheap and comfy. £100 buy a nice one.

£150 is a strange price. Too high for a budget lid and too low for a quality lid. HJC are worth a punt and very reasonably priced.

If you can stretch to about £200, then the Shoei Raid 2 is excellent. You might even be able to find one slightly cheaper than that if you shop around.

I've got an Arai "SV" as a day to day commuting lid. Hein gericke £200 (was £220 but I pushed a bit hard) and it's a cracking lid for the money.

True.. mines not to bad.. a little noisey.. but not as bad as my Caberg.
Also get yourself a fog city, and some ear plugs, helps with the nosie and keeps the ear canal warm.
