Shark X-Drak helmet

Nice on a warm sunny day though when not caning it, i suspect.

I think I'll pass. It looks like it's been designed for the South East Asia market. I don't know how much protection you would get from that front face guard and all that plastic is going to make it as noisy as hell.

Re: Shark X-Drak helmet
I was very impressed with the Roof flip front lids. They're a solid full face lid with the chin bar down. The one had release is a good idea as well.
Their new full faced lid was gorgeous. I think I'll struggle to justify the 700 Euro price though.

On the whole I do agree but just sometimes I think it would be nice to ride with the wind properly in my face.Jack wrote:I wouldn't wear anything other than a full face lid on a motorcycle

it sounds nice but remember that carried on the wind are a multitude of insects ,dust and grit and generally peoples discarded detritus .duke63 wrote:On the whole I do agree but just sometimes I think it would be nice to ride with the wind properly in my face.Jack wrote:I wouldn't wear anything other than a full face lid on a motorcycle

Re: Shark X-Drak helmet
Fwiw before I had left school two lads from my year had already suffered serious lower facial damage from moped crashes. Full face helmets ("Astronaut helmets" we called them, due to their style & un-afford-ability) were rare amongst 16yo riders.

Re: Shark X-Drak helmet
I’ve never ridden without a full face lid, it was a condition of my getting a Fizzy at 16 that I have a good helmet and gloves. This was due to my Dad falling off his bike at 18 (350 Ariel) and getting a fractured skull, as a result he lived under the shadow of epilepsy for the rest of his life, the other 4 lads brought into the hospital that weekend with the same injury from coming off bikes all died.StMarks wrote:Fwiw before I had left school two lads from my year had already suffered serious lower facial damage from moped crashes.

I had one of these but in white.
