Really helpful for the early morning commute in the dark. Also has the slide down sun visor, which I will always have in any future helmet I buy. This model also has an optional chin piece that I snap on during the cold months to keep the weather off my face. Very adaptable to all different weather conditions.

I have tried a few full face helmets and I did not feel comfortable with them. Those helmets felt too cluastophobic for me. If they have a Cycle Gear where you live I suggest you check out what they have. I have been very satisfied with them.

Currently I have Fulmer modular with a slide down sun visor and then my newest helmet is a Sedici modular helmet also with sun visor. Why did I pick these brands? Because they fit me and most of the other brands I tried didn't.

Basically it fits my needs

Post by: thomaspickrell on January 01, 2016, 09:50:21 AM: I am using the Icon Airmada Salient helmet from the past 1 year and it is amazing! It has a fully removable interior, anti-fog visor and visor locking system and the design is excellent. The best part is I got the helmet over here (http://www.clandesmotards.net/8-casque-moto) at a super cheap price of â‚¬ 247.95.

not everyone has the same head shape, what is good for one is not necessarily good for another

I suggest going to a motorcycle shop that stocks a lot of helmets AND has sales staff that knows how to fit a helmet and start trying them on

What he said!
Buying lids without trying on is a crap shoot.

Post by: ScooterWolf on January 04, 2016, 01:40:36 AM: Iâ€™ll add to the accolades for the full face Gmax helmet. I have one as well with the built in sun visor and rear LED light. Itâ€™s a great and protective comfort in the winter, and adjustable in the summer. If you pick a dark color I would suggest putting reflective tape on it as well.

Post by: MassScoot on January 06, 2016, 01:48:08 PM: I have owned HJC, which is an excellent helmet for the money. I switched over to Scorpion. I LOVE their half-helmet with the pull down smoke visor. I have the older EXO 200 & now it's replacement the EVO C-110. Can be found for around $90.00 online.
