sharing site one can check out when purchasing new helmet.

not only high class helmet, click LS2, u wud be suprised to find modular ls2 at below RM300 rated 4 stars.

one of the few sites where they provide numbers instead of talk, decibels, visor etc etc.... except COMFORT which is subjective as each of our kepala is different mold, but taking these 2 sites allow u to zoom in a particular helmet to go to the shop and try.

when i discover LS2, bought the LS2 airflow. than u know lah... want face value... got shoei cruise 1 and than 2, than got shoei neotec 3, expensive helmet, so keep macam precious diamond (am not rich but safety comes first for me) , only wear weekend instead of riding to work daily. than drop so many times the airflow, i bought LS2 Infinity 2, wah....sooooo comfy. weekend wore shoei macam no shiok liao.... as long as its DOT certified ok one...

experienced tells us to go try in a shop or fren helmet coz just buy online without testing kena before, no shiok, no fit my head etc etc.

Other than SNELL which is a good reference point... in youtube, look up at Champion Helmet which gives facts and numbers, they dont talk in the air. narrow a few and go to shop and test test kau kau....sometimes we wore test helmet like 5 mins, after buy soooo expensive helmet balik, go long ride, got pressure point here and there.

buying helmet and gear is like insurance, how much is enough. never kena = no problem mah. boils down to individual and budget.
