ur links cant be accessed.

the more recommended one is the one that fits u well... dont ever buy a helmet without trying it out... u can youtube on how to properly fit a helmet. then u can figure out which one is best for u.

just make sure they have ECE or SIRIM certification coz u need at least 1 of those for the helmet to be street legal in malaysia.

with the prices of those 2... ill probably also look at other helmets like HJC CS-15 for around the same price range.

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.

KB Soon Huat Motor Sungai Dua
Hock Lee Motor Sungai Dua - KYT and Suomy
DC Bikers - Shoei, Arai, HJC
Sheng Fatt - Shoei, Arai, HJC, KYT
SC Garage - Bilmola
Taycon - LS2, Grayfosh etc

and many more

I think LS2 got shop in Bukit Mertajam since the Importer HQ is there.

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.

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

Do consider IS17 as well.
It comes with a sun visor

I wear a waist pouch all the time...riding or not

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The one sold.by bikempire. Uglybros. Supposed to be waterproof but.....not really..it cant handle long periods of heavy rain..but a simple plastic bag n double sided tape can fix that n make it properly waterproof.

The uglybros are good for my use in terms of pockets etc but they dont last that long with my rough use n i actually have 2 more spare as backup. Im actually contemplating on switching to acerbis 4L pouch bags but they r twice the price n not enough pockets for me
Whats edc?

id go for clover since its looks like more mesh so should be cooler.

if touch screen capabilities isnt important to u... can look at Five5 RFX Sport gloves as well
https://www.mytakongracing.com/collections/...five5-rfx-sport

i have these and they are one of the most comfortable gloves i own... even more comfy than my Alpinestars SP2 V3 gauntlets.

i dont have sweaty hands so i dont really feel my hands get sweaty in both the Five5 n Alpinestars.

EDIT: just remembered i actually have the Clover SR-3. although they are longer, they arent gauntlet long. the IXON will be longer. got the SR-3 for super cheap coz it had a material flaw (cosmetic) and the shop owner just wanted to get rid of the stock. SR-3 is very airy n comfy to use also. i assume the SR-4 would be good for ur use.

The protection on the Five5 n Alpinestars definitely way better than the SR-3 as they r full leather vs textile gloves on the clover

Came across Alpinestars base mesh jacket for RM399, comes with CE level 1 shoulder and elbow armor.

Relatively cheap for original Alpinestars. Anybody using it? Really curious if the jacket itself has CE rating for abrasion and how it wears.

Using a mesh jacket now that’s a bit difficult to take off and wear again when sweaty.

Found the Held Cattleman boots to be had for RM275 with coupons on Shoppee.

Thick double-stitched cowhide upper, just begging to be mink-oiled. Zipped side (something I look for in all my lace-up Derby dress boots & bike boots). The usual toe, heel and ankle protection although not as heavily protected as racing & off-road boots, but that's fine as they retain the comfort & mobility I absolutely need to wear them all day at the office and when touring.

At this price, I couldn't say no.

However the welt is not sewn - this is the weakest area in all leather shoes coz while the animal leather is bomb-proof, the soles and their glue tend to somehow perish all on their own in our weather. Glued soles tend to detach after 2 years, dunno why. My fave Blundstones just went out this way and the soles also started to crumble apart... can't be saved, what a fucking pity...

Interesting! Which shoemaker stitches boots?

Which reminds me, I left my Rockport dress shoes with San Lee in Tmn Midah to see what they can do to reattach the soles last month. They never even got back to me....

I just bought a bike and now i need to gear up myself.
Trying to buy all the needed gear is expensive. So better ask to make my money worth.

Helmet - KYT TT
Is there any better contender for this price point?

Is BENKIA is a decent brand?

Might buy from Serdang Motorcycle.

Any suggestion is welcome.
