Crash Hat options & advice/opnions sought.

I have the right shaped head for Shoei, and have used them off and on for a long time. Currently have a well used Neotec flip front. Have also had a couple of Arai onesz in between, and actually found I needed a smaller size in Arai than I do in Shoei....which surprised me...but the fit doesn;t lie.

I wear glasses, and had no issues with either.

But as mentioned above, never buy without trying on.

SteveD CB500K0:
I’ve been wearing crash helmets much longer than I have been wearing specs.

When you have to get new specs, make sure you take your helmet to the opticians so that you can make sure they go on properly!

I had Arai for about 30 years and then switched to a Schuberth. Lighter and quieter.

I use a Davida open - face for riding the older bikes (wide range of colours, mine is red, white and green and has a leather interior) and a Sheoi Neotec 2 for riding the BMW. The Neotec is fitted with the integrated Senna coms system for sat nav and intercom use, whilst with the Davida I use their own separate visor, which works well.

If you do look at Davida, it is, in my opinion important to try them on, as there is little "give" in the lining if you end up with the wrong size (guess how I found out, it cost me another helmet!). The Davida is, though beautifully made and, being open - face easy to fit into the top - box for safe keeping when out and about.

I've ended up buying a Bell SRT Split face jobby in White - had to drive to Rebel County to try & buy (Clay Cross) - thanks for everyones input.

Update:- In the small print Bell recommend replacing the helmet every 5 years!

Laverdaroo:
