Your Dream Helmet

Ok, if you could buy any helmet you wanted which one would it be. Post a picture of it

Mine will still be the Scorpion EXO 700 or maybe the EXO 1000. If Vemar helmets were still available maybe a silver painted one made of carbon fiber. Scorpion on the left view, Vemar carbon on the right. Also here is a nice thread on a review of a Vemar helmet. Apparently now they are only available in European standard. They used to be available in the US with a DOT and/or SNELL standard.

Re: Your Dream Helmet

Son of a gun... the Vemar is DOT approved. I want to try one on. I'm really liking the red VSR2 in the photo of that web bike world link.

BTW, i think the paint is ChromeIllusions and a Dupont paint store can mix it up for anyone.

Re: Your Dream Helmet

Well I would like to go to a shop where they have basically every helmet made and in every size available. That would be the sheeit! But yeah I bought my Shoei X11 recently and I really cant ask for more. Great fit, ventilation, light weight, cool paint job (Kiyonari.) I love the Norick replica though....

Re: Your Dream Helmet

the exo-1000 looks like a great helmet, inside visor and cheek pads that can be inflated to fit your face better.

Re: Your Dream Helmet

can't say I've found anything better than my Suomy Extreme. fits my noggin very well, comfortable, cool, and I can get my glasses in with ease unlike some other helmets. only downside is its noisy.

Here in Phuket I was bloody lucky to find a Shoei Z4 and believe me I hunted around. Have to say the same as you for the Z4. I'm well pleased with it.

Now that's a cool helmet. I bet that's expensive, though. While you can't put a price on your safety, you can on your bank balance...

Re: Your Dream Helmet

Well, I can't really say what a dream helmet for me would be...I think I have the best helmet out there right now, for my head shape...and that helmet is the Shark RSR2. Very comfortable and light, to the point where I even forget I have it on sometimes. I especially love how they design their helmet's EPS liner with crush zones. As a Shark rep said, "in a crash, the helmet will protect you but it gives it's life to do it." I can live with that, especially if it lets me live with that.


As for a dream helmet, maybe my RSR2 with an internal visor and the Reebok pump-style cheek pads like a Scorpion EXO-1000. But with an optically correct internal visor, unlike the EXO-1000, and with the pump type feature only around the bottom of the pads, to act similar to the chin curtain most helmets have in front.

And a dark smoke visor that looks like a dark smoke from the outside but works like a high contrast (amber) visor from the inside?

With built-in chatterbox/bluetooth functionality?


Yeah, I think that will be all for now.

Re: Your Dream Helmet

I want a helmet that doesnt weigh anything, i cant feel it, doesnt opstruct my view and is invisible but protects me great.

I hate helmets.
