I agree with you 100% Alun - the thing is comfort trying it on in a shop is totally different from comfort out on the road after 300 miles! :huh: Getting other people's opinions is the only way to at least get a bearing on which helmets are better at what: until I began this thread, I had no idea that the peak on a dual sport helmet may cause problems if the wind catches it.Alun wrote:OB1, the helmet for you is the one that fits best and comes out tops on comfort. Full face, adventure style or flip is secondary when compared to fit and comfort.
As I have said before, I'll keep the Arai Chaser for normal riding and get something like the AGV AX-8 DS for the big tour.
