  • Picking a helmet (3 Options)

    So my girl is gonna buy me a helmet for Vday, and Ive found three, need some opinions. I want it to be matte/flat black, and I wouldnt mind a dual visor, so I can just pull it down when its bright out. Heres the three Ive been looking at:

    [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Hawk-ST-1150-Dual-Visor-Full-Face-Motorcycle/dp/B0047G5BC0/ref=sr_1_45?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1296778875&sr =1-45"]Amazon.com: Hawk ST-1150 Matte Black Dual-Visor Full-Face Motorcycle Helmet - Color : matte black - Size : Large: Automotive[/ame]


    [ame="http://www.amazon.com/HELMET-FX90-FLAT-BLACK-0101-3346/dp/B001L78UP8/ref=sr_1_403?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1296778498&s r=1-403"]Amazon.com: HELMET FX90 FLAT BLACK LG 0101-3346: Automotive[/ame]


    [ame="http://www.amazon.com/HJC-CL-SP-FULL-FACE-BLACK/dp/B000G1ERNO/ref=sr_1_448?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1296778596&s r=1-448"]Amazon.com: HJC CL-SP FULL FACE 2X BLACK: Automotive[/ame]



    The first one seems to be the best fit (bit more expensive than the rest), because its matte and dual visor. Im not super crazy about how it looks, but I like the color and the visor. The other two looked good, just wanted some opinions

    Try them on, they will all fit differently.

      None of the local shops carry them. The only Jap store by me has helmets from $200-750.


      I know my helmet size, read some reviews, just wanted to know if anyone was familiar with any of the brands. Im sure people know HJC, but any opinions would help

        HJC makes good stuff, an Ive heard of the fx series, not familiar with hawk, of these 3 Id go with the HJC even though Im not familiar with that model. wouldnt trust my cranium to a helmet that was cheaper than even my gloves, but thats a personal view .

          Remember, a medium HJC does not fit the same as a medium shoei and so on...

          But get the HJC, at least they're a real helmet company that takes pride in their products.

                i don't know about the hawk but i have a hjc and an afx. the hjc feels higher quality and has less noise.
