Inventory Note: Scorpion EXO Covert FX should be back in stock at the end of next week. We’re expecting the AGV K1 S helmets to be back in stock the first week of April.

I purchased the Scorpion Covert 2 helmet and the fit around my head is way more comfortable than the previous. Happy with the upgrade.

Hey folks - a cheap, and amazing helmet, is the HJC C10. One of the most comfortable and quiet helmet I've owned - and almost the cheapest. Bought it for the ECE 06 rating. Best deal going by far.

I should've dialed into this, good stuff! A nitpick is I would've liked to hear more about shell sizes, as a small framed guy I know your first two picks (Bell Qualifier and Icon Airflite) have relatively large shells for their quoted sizes, and so the bobble head effect makes those a non-starter for me.

I just picked up a white Strada 2 Parlare for 250 today. I’m not mad at is the bluetooth is so convenient.

you guys are doing such a good thing for us begginer bikers! thank you

[jontnoneya]

Glad you guys mentioned noise level and how dependent it is on individual riding, bike, position, body height and so much more. On every helmet that seems like it'll be a good one when you read reviews someone invariably says "Quietest helmet I've ever worn!" while someone else will comment "OMG this hast to be the noisiest helmet EVAR!".

Also you guys should do a vid for those of us with HUGE melons. The Bell and HJC companies seem to be the only ones addressing this segment of the market. I tried on some Shoei's like the x-15 and the Neotech 2 and their largest sizes are still a BIT too tight for my dome. One more larger shell and a few larger sizes and Shoei would likely dominate this segment of the market.

sedici strade 3 also offers a photochromic lens so id opt in for a snell rated one without the drop down visor + photochromic lens

Got a scorpion r1 air for half off at $240ish from revzilla. I always wait for the deals or closeouts to get better bang for my buck. 🤙

I've used a transition shield on my Shoei RF1200 for years, and I'm very happy with its quick-transition (dark-to-clear) performance.... It's especially nice for riding out of a bright sunlight situation into a dark, shady forrest. Or it's nice at eventide when you just can't stop and change face shields. One caveat with the transition shield is: they last a lot longer if you keep them out of hot storage situations. Therefore, I carry my helmet around with me in a nice carrying bag - Rather than leave it locked on the bike, baking in the sun.

Bell Qualifier DLX MIPS is my daily. Love the Protint and the shape is the best fit I've had in a while.

The Devil May Care is my favorite graphic.

[SSS-mpth]

I had flashbacks of Cinemax after dark with Spurg’s intro.

[John_Ridley]

I have a Bell Qualifier DLX with the protint visor - It's not pinlock ready but I put in one of the stick-on PinLock lookalikes and it works great. Mine is a Raleri FogStop

[jimharrison]

I bought an Icon, "Inky, " helmet 3 years ago and love it. I totally agree with Spurgeon.

JVC helmets are made to accommodate eyeglasses. Have been for over a decade.
I found Bell helmets are near impossible with eyeglasses. Tough to get the glass's arms in.

[IgoByaGo]

I have a Strada 1 and just picked up a Strada 2 Carbon. They fit my head the best.

[seamusmcg]

Airflite is Long Oval, bot Intermediate Oval. Me and a lot of local riders with Big heads bought these then had to sell them because their so tight on the sides. If you even think your Intermediate Oval, do NOT but any Airflite.

[wlt]

I was hoping the LS2 Citation II/Vector II would get a mention, given how much its loaded with for sub 300$

[SirLoinz]

Which of these helmets work best for riding cruisers?
I know position is hare to define but I'm more asking in general.
Sport bikes lean more forward.
Adventuring bikes are more upright.
Cruiser bikes lean more back.

[ramblinjay]

Been using the scorpion covert FX since they dropped.

Great helmet!
