liquidcooled Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 anyone tried or own a flip up helmet? if so what are they like? was thinking about one for summer riding. the only bad thing i've heard so far is they're rather noisy but that aint much of a problem. we are hard bikers after all 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted December 1, 2004 Moderator Share Posted December 1, 2004 All the cops wear 'em over here.......BMW & Shoei make nice one's from what I've seen. I'm not sure how they'd stand up to a serious impact though :? Me, I'll stick with my standard full-face. :wink: 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 hmm yea the only good thing about flipup lids is that i can smoke while still wearing them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N_Tart Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I think most flip up lids are tested as full face. If you look at the label with the EC number on it there should be a letter. J- means it's tested as open face P- means it's tested as full face ( I think I've got that right I'l double check and let you know!) The only complaints I've heard is noise.

Guest JMW Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Isn't the Nolan N1 a flip up jobbie ? They get advertiised on Eurosport when the motoGP is on - the advert is really homo. For Honda riders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
