Default lets talk hemlets.

so i just ordered me up some leathers. now i needs a good helmet to go with them. i was looking for a safe and aero one... but i also want one that looks good with my yellow, white, and black leathers. a few suggestions would be great.

i was looking at the Charly No Limit, but it dosent come in yellow... something like the Charly No Limit is kinda what i was thinking...
i also heard Bell drops and 661 full comp's were pretty good deals. any opinions?

If you really care about protecting your brain from injury then get a DOT or Snell approved motorcycle or motocross helmet. The types of head slams they are designed to protect against are exactly the same ones that you might have speedboarding.

There are safe and lightweight ones available.

i reccomend the 661 comp. very good helmet.

i useed to have an azonic t-55. that was good, i think the comps better though, lighter and better looking.

ive also heard good things about the azonic azx.
