My wife and I have tried on:

Nolan
Shoei
HJC
KBC


HJC for the price was best. The Shoei was really expensive. Nolan was also pricey. KBC was more than the HJC, but felt like the same quality.

Anymore suggestions? What do you flip-up wearers have??

Not going to put any audio/bluetooth in it. They all seem pretty compatible for audio equipment though.

I use the Nolan and am pretty satisfied with it.
For the price I think it's a good deal, at least compared to the competition. Certainly not cheap though, but then I do value my head!

Similar to the Schuberth is the

Caberg

Has anyone tried the Schuberth or Caberg for fit?

I have narrowed my decision down to these two but not been able to try one on.

I wear a Nolan with ear plugs and I thing it's great. Comfort and convienience. I wore plugs with my old Shoei also. To much R&R back in the day, My hearing doesn't have the frequency range it used to. :???:

Whaat d'you say? I have the same problem, but I blamed mine on genetics, loud concerts, and selective hearing when my wife or boss are around.

I just picked up a new Nolan from a seller on eBay who obviously buys in lots. I noticed he had several high end models very cheap. I picked up the Nolan for $150 shipped (brand new). The display box was a bit scuffed up etc... but the helmet is perfect.

Been wearing these BMW flips for years, made, I believe, by schuberth.
Check out the link (you need to scroll down a little) They are the best on the market.



BMW System 5

I really like my HJC for fit and convenience. It can be a bit noisy but not too bad.

It's an HJC Symax Roadster
