Grouch Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 I've just bought a new helmet. I wanted it last year but everywhere was out of stock so I bought a traditional MX helmet. I still like my old helmet, but I must admit I am really impressed with this one. It even has flip down sun glasses which will come in handy, also it was great value for the money I paid. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WULFSPORT-2013-PRIMA-SPEED-MX-ENDURO-DUAL-SPORT-MOTOCROSS-MOTORCYCLE-WULF-HELMET-/190736997009?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Helmets&var=&hash=item2c68cf9a91
blackhat250 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Good buy groucho " detachable visor, and i take it you went for the blue .
Grouch Posted January 9, 2013 Author Posted January 9, 2013 Yes Blackhat always blue to match my Yammy! I'm really pleased with it, it's a really good fit as well.
j0hn Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 That looks pretty good, I'd be tempted to go for MX style when they make flip front ones available
bennyboy1 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 sorry people i just have a problem congratulating mr grouch ON HOW GOOD LOOKING HIS blue/ PURPLE HELMET IS i would suggest he keeps his helmet covered in this weather !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grouch Posted January 25, 2013 Author Posted January 25, 2013 That looks pretty good, I'd be tempted to go for MX style when they make flip front ones available I still use my MX style one as well, I like using the different coloured Oakley lenses. Now weather is colder this one is just a bit warmer.
BenjiMC Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I tried one of those on at the shop but my masses of hair mean i can't get a good fit with my thin cheeks.. still searching, considering getting the Duchinni one.

I would have thought having a lot of hair would be a problem with any helmet? Those Duchini ones are pretty popular and have good reviews.
Ryan09 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I still swear by the Uvex enduro helmet, reasonably priced too. Just bought a new Suomey for the r6 though and absolutely love it!
kenDAWG Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 can you tell me what its like in cold mornings with the visor, does it steam up bad? i know you can flip it up a little but its damn cold at 5.30am lol ken

Just bought a new Suomey for the r6 though and absolutely love it! I can't wait to buy a full face racing helmet when I get a super bike. [quote name="kenDAWG" post="201683" time="1359316154"]can you tell me what its like in cold mornings with the visor, does it steam up bad? i know you can flip it up a little but its damn cold at 5.30am lol Unfortunately Ken it does, but it soon clears as soon as you set off because the front vent is a decent one, I have also tried the old 'Fairy' washing up liquid trick. I use one of those bandana type face masks which reduces the steam.
kenDAWG Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 yeh i have one of them wrap around face warmers also... ill have to get to bike shop and have a proper look at them, sick of buying off interenet without trying things on etc ken
Grouch Posted January 29, 2013 Author Posted January 29, 2013 I did take a bit of a gamble buying an helmet without trying it on first, but I knew what size I was exactly. The dual sport style helmets are really good, they are worth it.
Moderator DirtyDT Posted February 7, 2013 Moderator Posted February 7, 2013 This could be an ideal thread in the new review section now that you have had it for a while. What do you reckon?
Grouch Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 Sorry didn't realise there was a new section.
davie6711 Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Hey Grouch, I just bought the flip front version from the same folks with the sun visor built in. It's mega mate! And it's great value too. It feels solid and well built. Cheers, Davie.
Grouch Posted February 22, 2013 Author Posted February 22, 2013 Yeah the flip lids are great and very practical, especially at the petrol stations etc.
eddiebadboy Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I was looking at that one myself but ended up going for more of a standard one (with blue dragon design to match bike colour) maybe next year
Grouch Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 I've been meaning to buy a new lid for a while. I want to buy a decent one but not sure what type to go for, I'm thinking of getting a full face.
eddiebadboy Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 was on the isle of man last year (just thought i'd mention that in passing) and tried on the Arai tour 4. wow! the best helmet ever, and it was like it was tailor made for me, unfortunately it was over £400. and there is no way I could ever pay that much for a helmet unless I won the lottery and had money to burn.
