Type of helmet - Page 4

Of course... I even got the feel of what it is like when you lean in the curves. Then I watched the video so I could analysis my performance...

Must admit my neighbours really laughed when I ran around the condo in the snow with my helmet on - did keep my ears warm and the fog free shield worked well.

I have the HJC IS-16. Has a sun visor built in that slides down and then pops back up with the push of a button. Very handy late evening and early morning when the sun is low in the sky, especially on winding roads.

I always wear full face. Have had too many car windows broken by rocks to be at peace without a full face helmet. Also, I "kissed" one car that turned left in front of me a few years ago. Face shield made a "boink" sound as it flexed and then popped back out again after the impact. Really glad I had a full face helmet that day.

I always wanted to try a Shark Evoline. It flips from full to 3/4 and gets great ratings, but it's expensive.

I like the looks of that helmet. Wonder if it would work with scala communication.

**coacha** · 01-25-2011, 05:59 PM

Full face every time on the bike. It gets hot down here in Florida but I wear it 100% of the time now.

It should work just fine. The flip part goes over the top and would be similar to a modular helmet, which is what my wife uses with our scala set.

Just bought a full-face for those colder rides and when rain is possible. Otherwise a 1/2 helmet with a zip-in storm flap. Storm flap helps with wind but not so good for rain/cold.

Will try to net the second helmet on the back fender for the long solo rides - see how that works.

For cold get a balaclava.

I prefer pie and coffee....but I guess those Greek pastries are good too.

Before I got my Nomad (my first bike), I said I would always wear a full-face helmet. But I wear my half-helmet almost all the time now. Only wear full in rain or really cold weather. I can hear so much more and no buffeting. Just glad we have helmet laws here in Mississippi or I probably wouldn't wear one at all, even though I know I should. Jamie

Not exactly...

Hey that's funny, but I prefer just the coffee - them Greek pastries will make your pants shrink.

I bought the Shark Evoline last year at the Boston Motorcycle Show and love it. I've worn all types of helmets and was torn between buying a 3/4 or modular helmet. This one fits both. It also works well with my Scala Communication device too. I believe it's the only one that is DOT and European certified. I like the way the modular piece folds around and blends into the helmet.
