Helmets...What is your style

[Stan4d]

Here are my latest helmets.

...I like the vintage look and these match my bikes. What do you think? What does yours look like?

Mine is a plain white motorcycle cops "half helmet" style, but I'm thinking about replacing it.

Years ago, when I started drag racing for a while, I had to buy a helmet. Bought a full face because I thought I might do a motorcycle again someday.
I always think how much better a full is in the case of a face-plant.
When you get older, you think of pain avoidance more often. They are hot though.
Come summer, I am thinking about one of those motocross fulls.

The heat is what is keeping me from a fullface helmet....On the street it has reached over 120 here...(used a thermal gun from work....the temp directly on the pavement was 135) The motocross full I may need to check out.

I have a bicyle helmet but would also like the full face for better face plant
protection hehe The motorcyle helmets might be little heavy so i have been thinking about the helmets by Met on the chain reaction cycles website.

I have this helmet. It's not the most comfortable helmet in the world but it's getting better the more I wear it. I got a jet back face shield to go on it. You can't see my face at all and it keeps you cooler in the summer.
The only bad thing is that it's really hard to see at night.

right, and i had to put some thought into that, myself. i'd used 2 sets of goggles before i decided to try a shield full time. my half-shield is permanent, so i figured: clear shield at night, sunglasses underneath during the day. but the clear shield doesn't leave much clearance at the corners, & my dark goggles wouldn't fit, shoot!

then i found these wrap-arounds and now i'm a happy bubba

I always preferred a full face helmet ever since the day I did a power slide on my dirt bike and hit the curb with my face. I just picked up this Bell Zephr on clearance for $39 at Iron Pony.
