Looking for an open face helmet

[stolzy]

Quite hard to find a decent open face helmet.

I need a flip-up visor (so that excludes the otherwise attractive Davidas). Good quality, comfortable and robust.

And I don't want to spend a fortune.

A system V with the ject kit (which I have now) would be OK, but the jet kits seem to have disappeared.

Any suggestions?

Hi Solzy

I use a Schuberth J1 open face helmet with chin bar http://www.schuberthmotorcyclehelmets.co.uk/j1.htm

I find it brillant as I can't use a full face helemt due to claustrophobia tendencies

Open Face Helmets

I would recommend Arai SZ - pricey, but work for me.

Regards to all,

Hi, Seamus Nolan looks a good possibility, haven't tried it yet. Whats the comfort and quality like?.

Zofo, I think the Schubert is out of budget for a second helmet.

Ken, I tried the Evoline, but in open face mode it seemed kinda top-heavy. Wasn't completely convinced about the quality either (I tend to be rather hard on kit)

Phil, Arai looks promising too, but right at the limit of the budget.

Cheers guys.

Remember you want one with a removable, washable lining!

AGV

AGV Blade,real neat im getting one for the summer,peak small or large,visor and they do a blade vent......check them out...

Try ebay for a S/H Arai SZ – you do have to be patient!

SZ/m nice quiet top ‘snap’ vents, IMHO the best SZ ever made

SZ/f top vents not discrete, effective or as quiet as the SZ/m but a good helmet none the less

SZ/RamIII very noisy top vents and plastic furniture that don’t really work that well (removable lining)

Hi Stolzy

i find the N43 comfortable and it seems quite rebust. It also has a removable liner you can take out to wash ! Plus it has a good drop down sun visor.
