Motorcycle helmet recommendations

How well do the higher end Cardo speakers work compared to in ear headphones/plugs?

Anyone tried using electronic hearing protection ear buds inside their motorcycle helmet?

Both Snell and DOT are not useful. The only standard you should be using is ECE

This is awesome.

NegRep for the hearing protection thing though... Pussy!

Bought a downhill mtb helmet from FC moto. Seemed reputable for motorcycle shit too.

Fortnine's presenter Ryan F9 has been awesome for years. Down to earth guy, modest but still informative and creative. Love his videos.

Have been really happy with my Arai Vector-2, which I got to replace my old Shoei RF1100... To compare the two, Id say the Arai is better due to being a little lighter, balanced, and seems to have a slightly wider FOV

I got a new one last season and sold my diff. AGV one earlier this year. The new one I got has a built-in Bluetooth comm. system including for music which was basically the only reason I got it for. Senna something I believe, have to look at it again. It’s just pure matte black though, so doesn’t look like anything fancy.

I've been riding with Arai helmets for about 15 years now, love the story of the company and the fact that they are still hand made in Japan. I always recommend spending a bit more on a helmet as the fit and finish jump is apparent compared to some of the budget brands. The AGV k6 and Shoei rf1400 are amazing lids too, as previously mentioned in this thread.

All things being equal, I would buy an Arai or a Shoei.

However, neither of them fit my head.

I thought the Sena helmet was vaporware. We heard about it for years and it never materialized. You're telling me it actually exists?
I don't ride with anyone, so no need for another communication system that I won't pair with anyone, just audio.

Yea I don't know where I got Sena from, maybe the bluetooth unit is that brand. I looked and the helmet I got against and it is actually the Sedici Strada II Parlare.

A bunch of helmet manufacturers put coms systems into their helmets.

Really? That's great news. Only my Ruroc has it built in. All my others, I have to clamp a controller on the outside of the helmet, that introduces even more wind noise.

[shakalaka]

The one I mentioned above has that feature built-in. I also don't ride with anyone so don't care for coms as much, it's nice to use it for music for sure. I mostly wanted something I could drown out my Harley's Vance and Hines pipes with, haha.

Could always get one of these babies:



Pair it with some beat up Jordans or AF1s, jeans with an obnoxious amount of fashion rips in them, and make sure, whatever you do, don't wear a jacket or gloves.

Helmet recommendations are tricky because they all fit different. If youre considering buying online make sure theres a good return or exchange policy. Ive always been Arai(small) and tried to go Shoei and the small wouldnt even come close to going on but the medium was too loose. Went with the agv pista gpr last time and that one was my favorite by far, the helmet was comfy and the shape looked aggressive. Ive never tried those speaker systems but if you got louder pipes id definitely consider some type of in ear for better sound.
