which helmet give best vision

[fireyphoenix1...]

quite simple question
i ride most days with my AGV K2 as its comfortable i also have a caberg justissimo GT that i use rarely as it just isnt that comfortable imho
and my cheap arashi for pillions ect

but im in the market for a new lid and the only thing i have ever been bothered about with my K2 is peripheral vision especially when performing lifesavers

the lid needs
pinlock visor
good vents
prefer a seat belt style to a D ring strap

under £150

a lot to ask i know but any ideas guys ?

(i would go round more bike shops but we have very few that are decent near me)

i find HJC has way better vision than an Arai.
Much better price wise and the Arai must have the most shit visor changing system invented

Currently using a Duchinni D419, which is more comfortable, better peripheral vision, and cheaper than my old AGV V-Flyer

You need to go and try some on, what works for one person may not work for you. Although I found the seatbelt style fiddly to put on, my new Shark uses a ratchet instead which I can do up wearing my gloves, much easier to undo too!

I'd vote for HJC as well, you get a lot of helmet for your money and peripheral vision isn't too bad either. You sometimes feel that the breath guard gets in the way but it can always be taken out.

What bikes are you riding?

You could consider one of the 'adventure' style lids which have a visor but are designed to take goggles too, so have a wider aperture.

Why do you prefer the seat belt lock over a a Double D?

Not the answer you want to hear but, An open face lid is best for all round vision.

Shoei xr-1100 for vision, cant see anything in your periferal, has a larger visor and a larger pinlock than the xr-1000

Air vents are amazing, couldnt ask for better ventillation.

Double D strap which I think most people will tell you is far better and far easier to get on and off.

Only problem is they are about £300

Any shoei with the CW1 visor system will have good peripheral vision, so:
quest
xr1100
xspirit 2

OR

Any arai with the new SAI visor system, namely:
chaser v
quantum
rx gp

I can vouch for both as being equally good for vision.
