Welcome to the carbon fibre helmet club Wink

I love my bell carbon helmet, I think they look quality. Just wish mine didn't cost me so much money haha but it is comfy

What are your gloves like ? I struggle to find comfy gloves

The gloves to be honest are a little uncomfortable, but i think they just need to wear in a bit, i tried on a mates pair and they were much more comfortable, so should be alight after a while.

I've been looking at getting this helmet for a while and really like the look of it, the only thing i don't like is the stupid sunglasses that slide up and down, might see if i can take them out. Smile

My first helmet was a caberg I hated that sun visor thing too, I don't think there easy to get out tbh probably better off just not using it

I have a Caberg (Zonda) it was my first helmet, and I liked it. But it feels really big on me now after having tighter, snug-fitted helmets. I'm not keen on flip ups anymore, nor the internal visor.

It's the only thing that put me off getting one to be honest, my last helmet was an AGV K4 and that was pretty decent, but i've dropped it one too many times now haha.

Also this helmet has a gap for glasses which makes it more comfortable for me Smile I didn't realise there was such a thing, so with my other helmets i've just put up with wonky uncomfortable glasses. Laughing

Got me a carbon lid, £99 Laughing

Why the handroids over the biomechs? I'm getting the biomech, the elasticated rubbery finger things are novelty.
