Which one? I just can't decide
I have a Caberg flip face lid but find it a bit uncomfortable and noisy on longer journeys and want a closed face lid.
I have narrowed my search down to 4 lids and would appreciate any feed back. AGV Stealth (nice comfortable fit) £150-£179 Nolan N84 (as comfortable as the AGV) £150-£160 Schuberth QM1 (never tried one on) £129 OGK FF-4 HELMET (never tried one on) £99 I am on a limited budget so £179 is the max I can spend. I have posted this in the helmets section but that seems to be more for reviews more than buying advice. |

Sorry mate I can't help,but didn't want to see you get no replies!
I recently bought a Shoei Raid for 200euros which I personally thought was an absolute bargain!

I have a Shoei Raid also. It's a great lid, my only misgiving is the weight - a bit heavy at 1.5kg.
Of those you list I'd go for the AGV. |

I've got an AGV XR-2, comfy in all the right places, easy to do up and undo etc. The only criticism I have about this one, which I guess is difficult to test on any helmet, is it's ability to de-mist...poor in the rain...have to keep pooping the visor up a notch for a minute or two...otherwise for 170 quid it does the job for me.

Now that is the most novel way of demisting a visor that I ever heard!

 This may narrow down your choice even further. Fit is most important to me. My last 2 helmets have been HJC, simply because I can't find another brand that suits my head shape so well  Preferably, go to a large supplier like J&S where you will probably be able to try several brands under one roof.

Ive got the Caberg V2 lid - only 99 quid ( i even managed to get the one with graphics for that price as the dealer had listed it wrong on Ebay ).
Good lid. |

If you colud stretch to £199 the Shoei XR1000 can be had superb light helmet with a good anti-mist system.
