the warehouse not that much to buy... maybe if you are looking for bikes then u can get...

LSH has good prices for selected items.

i believe it only has a single shell size so its very very big oh, macam like matchstick for most people. and i tend to be a bit suspicious of a cheap flip-up...

ECE is not that great of a standard to adhere to, particularly in modular helmet due to the way the testing is conducted. for a full face it might be ok since there is less point of failure, but there are many cases of ECE approved modular that has the chinbar come undone on more rigourous testing.

personally i only use helmet that are at least SHARP tested. and more so for a modular. basically i am willing to use a ECE approved full face, but will only use a sharp approved modular...

interested you tested Arai but Shoei is out of your budget...

anyways, AGV has asian fit that might suit your needs too

nice. about time. perhaps i will need to edit my post to reflect ECE 22.05. lol

SNELL is the gold standard, so really nothing much to say other than its the SAFEST money can buy.... but with one big caveat, there are some helmets that will never pass SNELL even if they are as safe as other SNELL approved coz of the features that immediately disqualify them (ie. internal visor and modular).

SNELL is focused on racing and the testers deliberately test the helmet at what they feel are the weak spots so they are more comprehensive. however, SNELL rated helmet might be noisy, lacks feature, uncomfortable, etc. so while it is the gold standard for racing, it is not necessarily the best for everyday use.

call me a sucker for buying into SHOEI's marketing talk, but i agree with its philosophy of "Active Safety" even at the cost of SNELL certification.

in conclusion, i still use SHARP as my preferred standard (until the ECE 22.06 comes into play).
