Wild looking helmet.  Looks like something out of a Sci-Fi film.

i think alot of helmet maker's are going for the fighter pilot look. nexx helmets is following suit as well. my new hjc is-33 is an excellent helmet so far. i know many riders dont like open face helmets, but i do, and i am really impressed with the over-all fit and finish of this lid. the look is pretty funky, alot less so than other brands, but still i like it alot. i like the roof helmets as well. 8)  i really like davida(cool). if i ever get my thruxton, thats the helmet for me. :D

so at this point, in the thread, you all have thrown out some really great choices in helmet brands. even given some insight on your thoughts on helmet types's. so my next question is, what's better, dot,snell, or the euro ece. when buying mine, i tried to find one with all the ratings, but in the end went for the hjc(dot only). how much thought do you really put into it. untill now, i never really cared. but shooting past 41(with 2 squirts) alot more came into mind when choosing. so whats best - DOT, SNELL, ECE? :shock:

I'm not sure anything but a full face can pass SNELL.

Usually if it's SNELL it's also DOT.

Tried both Arai Tour X and Shoei Hornet DS. Both gave me a headache after more than 30 minutes riding. So having wasted a considerable amount of money, I bought another HJC (perfect fit).

I now have the IS-16, great helmet with internal sun visor. May still buy a motocross helmet as a backup, but I'm definitely sticking with the IS-16 for now!

I really like the IS-16   :D

man, after a month with the new lid, it amazes me all the new sounds i hear. with the old nolan, i was tuned into the road and the bike a certain way, but the new hjc allows alot of diferent noises to come in. some of the noise are freakin me out. still, i like the new lid, and i think im going to buy a new closed face hjc for winter, or if i can find one cheap enough, a hornet dx.

Bit OT

Are you selling your Hornet? I was considering one myself

what do you guy's think of the AFX FX-37?

[Nimrod11]

I have a Nolan N102. I like it a lot but it is noisy. I am told that if I take off the sun visor, it is much better but that is one of the nicer features of it. I may try it without the visor and get some transition glasses. The new N103 has an internal visor. Looks nice.

There is a pretty complete review here:

http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motorcyc ... afx-fx-37/ (http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motorcycle-helmet/afx-helmets/afx-fx-37/)

I don't know the helmet, but having a Shoei Hrnet DS, I will say that I really love these hybrid helmets.  The chin/mouth area is less claustrophobic that a standard full face, but the visor is more comfortable than goggles.

This one?


I got one of those with the mirrored face shield.  It exudes attitude.  I don't have to wave at anyone anymore and no one waves at me.  I scare kids in backseats.  I love it! 8)

Edit:  THE best $100 spent this year hands down. :D
