·I have a AGV GT open that's seen better days. It's an awesome helmet, but time to get a new one.
Here's what I can contribute:
My first helmet was a HJC. Cheap, nice, kinda noisy. Not too many features. Protects well when smashed against asphalt. Great bargain helmet
I'll never buy another flying visor Icon helmet. I had two, one visor kept falling off. On the other one, I looked left on the freeway to make a lane change and the wind ripped it off and it smashed all over the windshield of the car next to me. Webbikeworld had the same thing to say about a new Icon helmet also: cheap holding mechanism and the visor falls off.
Right now I rock the AGV and it is a killer helmet. Loads of features, comes with chinscreen. Very comfortable. Good amount of air runs trough vents. No sunglass holder though. Bah. Costs a lot. Bad part is about flip-ups: I have rider buddies that work at a hospital and they said there were a few guys in there with those types over some time, and if you hit the ground just right it'll break or take your jaw completely off.
Anyone been around the block? Tried numerous hats? Let's hear it :thumb:
