They have extensive reviews riders themselves give on each product they bought.
If I could recommened a helmet it would be the Scorpion EXO1000, it has a rediculous amount of facial appearance like a $700 helmet for about $300. YouTube “Scorpion EXO 1000″, sportbiketrackgear did a fantastic 2 part review of it. It’s really comfortable, at 30mph or 140mph.
Yeah, helmet companies seem to reflect if we want a feminine helmet we must want pink or purple…ick
I haven’t been able to find any sites that really break out women’s helmets well. Motorcycle superstore lets you search by women’s street helmets then offers you choices of things like the Rockhard Hustler helmet. Really….they thought women wanted a helmet with naked women grabbing their crotches on the side….fascinating take.
Anyway you force try looking at these, Scorpion Black Dahlia, Shark Eden or Karma, Shoei Flutter, HJC CL-SP Lola. I have a HJC CL-SP Type O (white and silver) that is excellent and looks a bit more feminine.
Really buying a helmet online is a terrible thought. Size matters and is a safety factor in this case. It needs to be as near perfect of a fit as possible in peacefulness for the helmet to really work the way it is supposed to.
It must only have about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of play in it. That means if you have it on and you hold it by the front cut (mouth area), you must only be able to go your head in either direction by that amount.
A helmet that is too huge will give you bobble head going any quicker than 40MPH. The wind will go up through the neck area and fill the helmet. With no escape for the air, your head will lift up, neck stretch out and your head will just start bobbing like a bobble head. There is a serious chance of neck strain and is perilous since it takes your focus off of riding safe.
If the helmet is too small, you’ll always get a headache and even dizziness after riding more than an hour. Too tight also prevents healthy air flow. You need some air flowing through the helmet to prevent fog up on the screen. It feels excellent too when it’s hot out.
There is no way to guarantee a excellent fit when buying online since you can’t try it on. Place some foot work in and get something that looks excellent but will also provide maximum protection. Don’t buy online.
Get any of the ones named below in primer black, and have it painted.
