I need a new helmet

[Choppergerry]

I have a 10yo KBC full face helmet, that needs to be replaced. Looking for a full face helmet that is Snell approved, and won't cost me an "arm and a leg" . Been looking at the modular helmets, but not sure how safe they are. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi gerry, I have a Gmax modular helmet that I like it has many vent you can open or close, I have never had a full face helmet but I am told they are quieter then a modular, I have not been down and needed the helmet so not sure just how tough they are. what I like about the modular is you can lift the front and get a drank or talk to some one. the gmax has a shade that you can lower is needed. when I got mine it was $124 now I see them at $161. still a lot cheaper than most. you need to go look at a few and try them on.

I have a Shoie Neotec modular and I absolutely LOVE it. The modulars are much easier to get on and off, plus you can lift the chin bar at a light or even while on the open road to take a drink on those hot days. The best feature (for me) is it has a drop down sun visor which means I do not have to wear sun glasses or change visors between day and night riding, and the visor kind of keeps my ugly mug a mystery. The Shoie is not the cheapest version around, but you can get modulars with a drop down sun visor for as little as around $200.

I do not have any experience in 'knowing' how protective a modular is compared to a full face, and I hope I NEVER have to find out.

Almost balked at buying an Arai once. Salesman asked me what I thought my head was worth?
Many miles wearing that helmet

We used the Nolan N-103 until a few months ago and were very happy with them,however we tried the new Nolan N-104 and I have to say we are very impressed. Only made short trips with the N-104 so far but we are impressed. (just my 2 cents) might want to check them out.

We use the Schuberth C-3 pro modular. German made, Real quiet with the sunshade....Not for all ahead sizes......Option for the SRC communications system which works real nicely.

It is very expensive, however it looks like they are doing the "older C-3" model out at half the price.... Great helmet, buy def. try it on for a good while, its not for all head shapes.
