New Helmet
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
Sort of narrowed it down

Re: New Helmet
Second down love the look of that - the red against the black looks great in my opinion

Re: New Helmet
4 is my choice.
Took my GT Air apart yesterday and gave it a thorough clean out. Was a bit niffy.

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

Re: New Helmet
Didn't go for any of those in the end
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

Re: New Helmet
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

Re: New Helmet
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 !

Re: New Helmet
Spuds doesn't ride his baby in the rain so I don't think that will be an issue for him.
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.
