Grouch Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I've just bought a motocross style helmet to match my bike. I've just tried it out after switching from a full face sports style. I wanted to change because I wanted a helmet that would match my bike, also I was sick of the visor steaming up all the time. Straight away I noticed the wind catching under the peak and lifting my head. I also noticed the goggles I bought (ones that match the helmet) dig into me and are n't that comfortable. The helmet is the right size as well, so it's not too big or too small. I have place the goggles on the outside of the helmet, I'm sure thats the proper way.

veteranix_2 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Now I'm using an Airoh S4 (Italy), it works like an Enduro (little heavier), or race or like the Uvex shown above. The S4 is perfect when you want to eat butterflies in summer at 70 miles/hour... http://www.airoh.com...s4/color#more-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have got used to my traditional moto-x one now though. I bought a mask that covers the lower half of my face, my mouth and nose and it's sorted all the problems out.

Ryan09 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I ended up with a new helmet as i started doing more road work than green laning. A visor on the road is so much nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouch Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 I switched from a full face to my crosser and at first I didn't like it at all. It was uncomfortable and distracting, now i'm used to it and I love it. My new mirror lens goggles came today and they look ace. I just cant wear them at night. I think I will try one of those like yours when I have to replace mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
