Caberg V2 because it was cheap, comfortable and has a built in sun-visor which is a GODSEND.

Originally intended to go for a cheaper lid like an AGV K but hated the fit and soso feel of it, so I started looking at HJCs and was almost sold on the FS-10 with the slidy visor thing but after seeing a group of returns all with the same sunvisor fault I made the mistake of trying an arai on

£325 quid later, looks the business with a black visor and black gear/jeans, now I just need a non granddad of bike so I don't look daft

Offered at a price too good to refuse.
It has a nice thick visor

X-601 x-lite (although not in this design or colour - mine is blue & white)
Have it because after trying on Shoei's Arai, AGV's etc in HG, this was the one that fitted best. Nice and light too.
For a 'flagship' helmet it is good value too. |

Another Shoei XR1000 here. My previous helmet was a Raid 2 and i had a dark visor for it so i stuck to the same brand. I chose it as it does consistantly well in the Ride magazine reviews and i liked the easy visor change mechanism.

Ditto, except I wish it was quieter. I usually ride with earplugs, so it's not a huge deal, but I'd like to be able to just pop the lid on without fumbling with the plugs.

HJC FG-14 Phoenix:
https://www.sounddistribution.co.uk/images/fgpb.jpg
Paid £150 from Infinity.
Fits about as perfectly as it could really and I really like it.
Got a CS-12 for the other half and it's OK, but the extra cash for the FG-14 is worth it in terms of the smoothness and tight fit of the visor and general comfort and feel. |

Nitro because I am a sucker for a macho name and have an unresolved desire to be an American Gladiator...
https://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p157/Kal_hybrid/Bike/Gear/nitro_helmet_n600v_blue.jpg
and not because I am cheap. £30 for two years, will probably replace it this year depending on what I see at BMF etc.
Visor started having issues at speed after the first year, but for the first year it was the best helmet I have owned.

Schuberth S1, because it's quiet, oh so quiet and with plugs in it's positively tranquil and it leaves me free to concentrate. The vents are good, the fit is excellent, and it's just so right when it's on. The visor has coatings inside and out, an internal flip down sun visor, adjustable pads, washable liner, 1.5Kg and reflectors. I added a genuine Schuberth breath guard and it's almost perfect now, price £230-350 depending on where you buy it.

Shoei X-Spirit.
It's light, quiet and fits well.

Not really a Kagayama fan but his lid designs are cool and I got bored of plain lids.

I retired my £500 Arai (bought for £250 in Japan) for a £200 AGV Stealth (£150 after a Gavin discount  ). After doing a fair bit of research it became clear that the actual protective difference between a retail £500 helmet and a £200 item is a non-issue.

Shoei Wayne Gardner replica.
I dont like buying things that 1000 other people have. Saw this one, liked it, brought it. Although it needs replacing this year really, so I'm on the look out for another, something a little different. I might get a plain one sprayed up to my own design.

AGV TiTech in Rossi colours.
Because I like the design and it's a very protective lid, good reviews from mags etc.

Where did you bring it from, or have you BOUGHT it?
sheesh.. kids these days...
I have had HJC helmets since the day I passed my test, ZF-7, AC-11 (which I crashed in and it did VERY well) and now an FG-14 and CS-12, both of which are comfy. The FG-14 is marginally less draughty than the CS-12, but the CS-12 has better aerodynamics, as the FG can introduce some head-wobble at speeds you probably shouldn't be doing anyway.
HJC seem to fit me well, and for the price, I can't complain, so I got an HJC moto-x lid too, for greenlaning and enduros.
As it happens, I'm in the market for a flip-front, and am considering the FS-Max, but noone seems to stock it in white in the UK
