New Helmet

Post by Spudda »

I've had the green light for a new helmet

Definitely going Shoei ... Ive had no issues with my X-Spirit, its light and quiet

99% sure I'm going for the GT Air with the integral visor but cant decide on colours

Leathers are Silver, Black, White. Boots are black Sidi's with red writing, Gloves are white with red

Yes I know its not a fashion show but I like to have something in tone with the rest of my gear (makeup)

Sort of narrowed it down (wasntme)

Second to last one is my pick.

Number one sounds like it might be the best color match

I agree if you want something that will mix and match well.

No 2 is my fave if you like colour, lovely.

4 is my choice.

Took my GT Air apart yesterday and gave it a thorough clean out. Was a bit niffy.

I voted for 4, but on reflection the red bits on 2 would look good with the red on your boots and gloves.

Didn't go for any of those in the end :D

I went for the GT Air Revive and paid extra for a smoked visor ... yes a darker visor even though it comes with the integral one

The smoke takes the brightness from a mixed / bright day where the integral visor acts like a pair of sunnies

Pictures don't do it justice as theres a lovely pearlescent hew to the 'Phoenix' on the side

Liking that a lot. Like the idea that you can pick how dark you need the visor to be according to the situation. Great choice

I'm wearing a tinted visor and use the sun visor when it's really bright.

Looks smart, Spudda. For an all round helmet the GT Air is the best i have ever had.

I went for number two, but I like wh you have gone for.
I have a GT air and I agree they are a very good helmet, the only issue I have found it is the worse helmet I have ever had in the wet! The tiniest lift of the visor the rain gets in underneath and it then becomes hell on earth trying to see, I have no idea why or how to stop it,,,, never has such issues with my Arai!

This is not a dig at the helmet, I love mine, but wet riding in this helmet for me is a no, no. (If I get the choice that it ! (facepalm)

Spuds doesn't ride his baby in the rain so I don't think that will be an issue for him.
