Classic fullface helmet - Rod 1975 - 04-13-2018 04:07 PM Ok, so after reading almost every post about helmets, I still didn't find what I'm looking for. I'm searching for a classic helmet that looks good on the CB but with modern performance. I like the looks of the Biltwell Gringo S, the Premier Trophy, the Bell Bullit, but all of them have at least one problem for me. If any of you knows a full face helmet that is: - classic looking - without real leather (to protect my life I believe that I don't have to take other's) - below 400 eur - well ventilated Thank you in advance RE: Classic fullface helmet - SportsterDoc - 04-13-2018 04:14 PM I have not found a comfortable full face since Shoei made the S20, circa 1976. Did not know anyone still made leather lined. Had a metalflake gold, leather-lined 3/4 helmet in 1967. It was very comfortable.

RE: Classic fullface helmet - F800GT - 04-13-2018 10:34 PM This one is not a full-face but i think it looks pretty cool with the CB: https://www.burnoutitaly.com/shark-heritage-blank-mat-helmet RE: Classic fullface helmet - jimgl3 - 04-14-2018 03:58 AM for me it all boils down to head shape. bell seem to be only helmets, besides arai of course which I refuse to pay for, that fits my head. RE: Classic fullface helmet - Houtman - 04-14-2018 04:36 AM I rather pay Arai than the hospital ! RE: Classic fullface helmet - EmptySea - 04-14-2018 04:42 AM Bell makes a retro-styled helmet as does Simpson and I think I saw a Scorpion kid that had a retro look to it. No idea if any of those fit you or your price range. I have yet to find a retro-styled helmet that meets my “Safety then fit then comfort” standards. At least not for the lid I wear on longer trips or at higher speeds. I have found that the only way a retro-styled fullface helmet is well-ventilated is if the face shield leaks. Most do not have true vents.

I know... it's a hard quest Thanks anyway RE: Classic fullface helmet - bigsheep - 04-15-2018 07:27 AM My problem with the Biltwell is the visor lock mechanism. My problem with the Bell is cost/value, and fit, but I really like the look. I think the simpson ghost bandit, street bandit or m30 bandit and should come in under 400 Euro. I have a Shoei Qwest which is far from retro, but has a functional simplicity that I like as well as being a good fit for my head shape and very quiet compared to my other helmets. I think finding a SHOEI model under 400 Euro shouldn't be too difficult either with some hunting around. I got mine for $300 canadian. |
