I had the older flip up helmet which i thought was ok for commuting but i got sick of the clip on strap and the fact my chin hit the guard. Went and spent a lot on a Shoei X-Spirit, 100x better, the caberge venting was not up to much compared to my new one.

No matter whether the vents are open or shut, it steams up the same Confused

Not claustrophobic, but I sometimes gag - the helmet strap pressing on my neck or my jacket pressing on my neck makes me want to throw up. Guess I just have a VERY strong gag reflex and never realised until now because I've never been in a situation that made me realise... might ask some of my exes if they have any tips for how to control it...

EDIT: Just saw this was an old thread that was revived for some reason. Sorry for adding to it, let this thread die.

I had this concern when I started biking. I got a flip up helmet , doesn't really make much difference when you are riding but I find once I'm riding I forget about everything else except concentrating on the road but it's nice when you pull over and want a break for a minute to be able to quickly flip up rather than take off, also I wear glasses and have to take them off if I want to take helmet off.

Old Thread Alert!

The last post was made 5 years, 36 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful?
