How many helmets do you own?

[rubberhedgeho...]

Hey all,

for general interest, how many helmets do you own (*edit: AND use more than once a month....)
How many would be too many?

I have 1 - Shoei Qwest in plain white, and I'm looking to add to it - maybe something colourful and with a sun visor from AGV.....

Would be interesed to find out if you've got Summer and Winter helmets, different types (full face, open etc), or different colour schemes of the same helmet.

[DrDonnyBrago]

I don't fit your categories, I have 2 lids, one I wear daily the other I never wear as it doesn't fit very well. I only keep it as it is basically brand new and now worth a fraction of what I paid for it. Your categories also exclude those with multiple lids because they keep the old ones when they wear out. I would shoot myself in the face before I went out of my way to colour match a helmet and jacket.


We need another option - Multiple lids, only one gets worn.


Daily wearer is a £100 HJC FG-15 in some gimpy colour scheme with dragons on it (was too cheap to turn down).

The lid I no longer wear is a £400 AGV GP tech in black. Bought it as a noob and it didn't fit right, soon stopped wearing it and it is now my spare.

[pinkyfloyd]

I'm with Donny. I have 2 lids, one that is slightly too big so it is kept for pillion riding.

Don't fit into the categories given if daily use is mentioned, only ever use my Shark S900 but still have my cheap Box lid for pillions ( has a tendency to mist no matter the weather/speed and dropped once or twice, yes I don't value my pillions skulls but they probably don't value their lives much anyway to get on the back )

[hmmmnz]

i have 6 at the moment from the last 2 years,
i have a filthy work helmet (dirty concrete dust fucks the liners)
a flip up job for around town
a helmet i use for long distance riding
as for the other 3 well, they get used when i happen to pick them up,

none are particuly expensive, i say none are worth more than about 70-80 quid new, and none match any particular item of clothing,
because we all know (if even secretly) that matching gear/bikes/helmets is just a sign of gayness shining through, and is up there with tucking your trousers into your boots

[P.addy]

Where I'm sitting I can see 4...

red one, batman one, red and pink one and a nitro.

there is a lazer at the brothers

I pick and choose any of the first 4... depends on mood (and whatever is closest to the door)

[c_dug]

I can see 5 where I'm sitting, plus two in the cupboard, and my girlfriends is with her at work. That makes 8 that are mine.

My Daily helmet is a HJC IS16, there is a second HJC in the cupboard, and the girlfriends is also a HJC.

On top of the cupboard is:
A free Duchinni D701 that I got with my curtsey bike when my ZZR was written off.
The X-lite that I was wearing in the ZZR crash
My friends old Shark lid that I borrowed for the girlfriend when we first got together.
My dads old AGV lid that was a perfect fit for me, but I managed to lose a bit of the lining/padding so I've never worn it.
My RST MX style lid, it was what I wore on my first two bikes as they were more trail styled bikes, I still wear it on occasion, if I'm doing that kind of riding.

I've never thrown away a helmet, seems a bit wrong for some reason

[Beamexican]

I've got three now cut down from about 8 as i don't like throwing them away.

Got an arai astro r for when its really cold and use an arai vx pro2 mx helmet the rest of the time, other one is a knackered old troy lee designs mx lid that i still keep as a spare for some reason.

Think i must have had about fifteen helmets now much to the annoyance of my missus.

[Marmalade]

Only use 1, it has my scala set screwed through the side of it.

I have 5 or 6+ others here, 1 that is used for son when he comes on the bike and apart from one that gets worn very rarely the rest are old ones i've not thrown away.
Helmet usually gets replaced between 6 months and a year.

Currently 5, with another on the way.

Have 2 old suomis in the cupboard upstairs "just in case" and a new one which is my current day-to-day (for now), have a non-branded cheapo that I picked up from Makro cos it was an excellent fit which is my summer lid, it's very lightweight but fogs up badly at this time of year. Have one that I picked up in Aldi (I think) that again was a very good fit but that I have never worn - this is my official spare/loaner.

Just waiting for George White to deliver me a new HJC that I tried on in J&S the other week but they didn't have in stock in my size in the design I wanted - being a glasses wearer I suffer badly from fogging in the winter and this will be my first experience of a proper anti-fog double visor system. Fingers crossed, cos I also suffer badly from chapped lips due to having to keep the visor cracked open at the moment!

Far too many. I wear one of three regularly but I think there is at least five or six more around the house. None are particularly expensive and I can't remember the name of the one I wear the most.
Some I buy and never wear so I tend to give those away after a bit.

Just two (not including the missus')

My old (five year old!) AGV K2
My new Caberg Konda. Which I'm not sure about, fits good but seems pretty drafty round the back of my ears

Started with a Spada full face lid for 40 quid, got irritated with the bother of taking it off and the double D ring buckle.

So I went for a Scorpion exo100 open face, comfy and much easier to use, no bother with mp3 player etc and when used with a headover its been fine for winter too, visors are easily changeable etc

Weirdly I no couldn't go back to full face, feels as if I can't hear or less bugger all after wearing an open face for a so long!

Will probably invest in a flip up at some stage.

[mivster]

2 helmets both just under £100

1 nitro mx450 in white street moto x ( everyday use )

1 airoh rs triple black n white flip up ( only use on longer journeys or as a pillion )

[Redoko]

Why two separate lids for summer and winter?

I fit none of your choices.

I have 3. My first lid that I never wear anymore, the lid I got after that which can be used for pillion and my current lid.

I only really have one helmet that I use. I do however own 2 or 3 others which are my old helmets.

[TheSmiler]

At the moment I only have one lid however going to be increasing that in the new year, open faced here I come.

I have three; my main lid, offroad lid for greenlaning and my old lid that is too small and gets left for potential pillions. My main one is a Shark in White and black so goes with pretty much anything!
