check on the helmet itself...just coz its branded and a common model etc doesnt necessarily mean it has the correct certification marks on the helmet itself. law enforcement can still confiscate the helmet if there are no markings on the helmet, even if its ECE certified in other markets.

some pix on this site of how the stickers are like at the back of the helmet.

for ECE, there will also be a white label on the chin strap (E*) to also indicate the ECE certification.....like THIS (E11 in this example)

when KYT first entered malaysia they didnt have SIRIM cert but instead had a JPJ approved sticker like THIS...not sure if its still the same or theve changed to SIRIM now.

note that any other certification like DOT, SNELL, SNI etc are NOT recognized to be street legal in malaysia no matter how "good" people claim them to be.

for the helmet to be street legal, it must have one or both: SIRIM or ECE.

Like Madmen said, best to try it in person before buying it. Watch YouTube video on how helmet should fit you. It should not be loose and overly comfortable.

And not all helmets will fit the shape of your head. HJC doesn’t agree with my head. The entry level and mid level ones.

Minimum it should be full face and have ECE. And if the helmet doesn’t fit you properly, it’s not going to protect you properly. So spend some time to get the right one.

thx very much for the detail info

thx for the advice, will take my time to shop and try.

thx so much for the info, really appreciate bro

is LS2 helmet recomended as well ?

Very subjectives.. LS2 in terms of safety they ok, got "Sharp" rating. but in terms of head size, you need to try it out first.

alright, understood, will give it a try

I would look at HJC.
They have entry level CS-15 that's very good and surprisingly quiet.

Different helmet topic....

Why lah.... every time go look at helmet shop fella sure ask what bike you ride ah?

It's like looking at condoms and salesgirl come ask you how big your kahuna is ah?

trying to see how much you will be willing to spend?

I always just tell them I ride a 1982 Honda C70.
Which full face helmet suit my ride ah?

Different styles of bike can match with different styles of helmet ma...

Takkan bawak superbike but wanna pakai nazi helmet?

Tu lah saya nak pakai full face Shoei X Spirit ride Honda C70.. 🤪

Could never go wrong ordering online and no one will ask
