Need me a new helmet, made this thread on another site I frequent a bit more,

http://mustangforums.com/forum/off-topic/536813-which-helmet-should-i-get.html

Which do you like ?



But more importantly, goggles. I'll now be riding with glasses on. So can anyone here with glasses point me in the direction of a good pair of goggles to cover my glasses ? Last time I rode with a helmet with a set of strap goggles I wasn't wearing glasses, so I'm not sure how it's going to work out.

Those are nice helmets, and out of those 3, I would go with the Fox, but have you looked into One Industries?

We have had everything, Troy Lee, HJC, Fulmer, O'Neal, Bell and KBC.

I just picked up another KBC yesterday because they are great helmets at a not so outragous price. Plus KBC builds helmets for those other companis above.

Regardless of what helmet you get, make sure it is DOT and Snell approved.

I wear glasses comfortably with Smith Warp, Utopia (all), and ProGrip. Hope that helps a little. :cool:

Anyone have experience with the AFR FX-19 ?

I'd much rather have something in a flat color and think I may have found one, no need for a flashy helmet IMO.



EDIT: This one says dot and snell,

EDIT2: Spend a little more for something a little better ?

Scott makes a goggle that is designed to fit over your glasses. I haven't tried them personally but Scott is known for making some of the best goggles....

They are the 87 OTG model......

Anyone ever use scott goggles with a nose guard ? I've never used goggles with a nose guard, does it rub your nose ? Is it annoying ? Does the guard hit your nose and put the goggles off your face a little when you move your head ???

I have the nose guard on all of my Scott goggles. No negative side effects... I'm Italian and my nose fits in there just fine..

It really helps keep some of the dirt off your face.. I won't ride without them now..

If you have an Arai helmet they may hit the guard on the front of that helmet..
