There is another option.Watty2016 wrote:Cheers will have a look at both, would be interested in general views on this one, as I have heard that you can't ride with the flip up, so what's the point I am asking myself?
May just go for full face. :blink:

Can be used full face or open face, also has sun visor.
I've been wearing one for two years now. Suits my riding.

I take it that the flip goes all the way back and not just to the top of the helmet, as my instructor told me it isn't legal unless it goes all the way back? :blink:

And tested in full face and open face.
I only really wear it full face on Motorway type roads now.

Re: Best sound proofed Flip up helmet
As good as any full face I've tried, I think it helps as it's quite snug aroung the face. But I use ear plugs when on a longer trip, not so much for local bimbling.Watty2016 wrote:Cheers realised that after I replied !!! And it looks really cool how is it for sound and windproofing? (thumbs)

Different shaped heeds ! Different bikes. Different seating positions. Loads of other factors. Quietest helmet I've ever owned was Scuberth S1 Pro.ymfb wrote:Its amazing how two people (you and me) can rate the same product completely differently, I guess its proves honesty and makes it more important for the OP to try before he buys or get more feedback.Allan F wrote:Got a Shoei Neotech.

Quite rightly try before you buy.
