Full versus flip is a big choice.

I've gone flip and I likely won't go back. But full face is probably safer (check the SHARP ratings for flip security in impacts), can be quieter, and you have the option to fit a chin curtain which I also like.

If you do want flip, I'm perfectly happy with my Nitro F341-VN. It matches your criteria and is feature equivalent with the more expensive Cabergs, although with lower side impacts ratings in SHARP tests.

All i can say regarding flip front is that I had a fairly light crash in my Caberg Sintesi, and the chin bar flew off and was no where to be found.

So I definately won't be having one again. Unless I go for the >£400 Shoeis.

many flip front lids are only approved to open face lid standards

the only one I know of with dual approval, as an open face and full face is the shark evoline @ £300

I like the HJC cs-r1. Not pinlock ready but has anti mist visor fitted that works OK. Very comfortable.

If you want it to protect, you need to try some above.

If you've tried them on, you can make your own mind up!

Can anyone suggest an open face helmet for me? I want one that is "thinner" so it matches the proportions of my head. Or do they all have the exact same thickness of padding? Oversized helmets are not a good look. https://the-cafe-racer.com/scooter-and-motorcycle-helmets/open-face-helmets?page=all

My Nitro Aikido was £60, although they seem to be more now Confused

An alright lid, pinlock ready etc. but it doesn't come with the pins so that's another thing you have to buy. Also I agree with all the posts about trying a helmet on beforehand, mine was a little loose around the cheeks when I got it, now it's v.loose & I'm finding it impossible to find replacements cheekpads Embarassed

under the old BSI standards each manufacturer used to have a room filled with the testing equipment for each test and country that demanded standards, the BSI man would and did turn up unannounced, remove a number of helmets from the production line and take them to the testing room where a member of trained staff would have to test those helmets and explain what he was doing to the BSI man.

ECE2205, manufacturers are self certifying and no outside body checks that they are to standard, no wonder so many helmets now come in from china

that's why I wear nothing except shoei.
