Default HELMET!!

Not sure if this is the place to ask this. I recently replaced my beloved Arai helmet with an AGV Rossi replica as the deal was very good. Think i may be regretting it as i dont think its as good as the Japanese make. Therefore thought i would run a poll as to what helmets you guys currently use.........................keep it clean though!

now on 2nd Arai (Astro J), previously used Bell.

They fit me, beautifully made and the quality lasts, visors work well and don't leak, Astro J has excellent ventilation, light, rather noisy but probably not worse than average.

Might consider Schuberth S1 (not the flip type) next as they're suposed to be quiet.

Always had Aria's thinking of something different this time though, so will have a keen interest on this thread.

Got a Kiwi had it for 4 years - bought it without knowing what I want out of a helmet. All I knew is I wanted a cheap Matt Black

It's heavy, it's not quiet, but I have nothing to compare it to so could say if it's any louder than another.

Arai.. its the ONLY helmet make that would fit my head properly....

I have some other thing THH I think.. thats a tad to big for me, but I use it for going back and fore to work, and for pillion use.. my Arai cost to much to get it caked in cement and stuff
