What make and model of helmet do you ride with? If you have more than one model, which one do you use the most?

I have the AGV but it hurts my forehead when it gets really hot. I find it troublesome finding one that fits my head shape perfectly. Not all the good ones have my size unfortunately.

I wear an AGV X-Vent in Rossi Suzuka colours.

It's comfortable as anything, though I must admit it's pretty bad for wind noise above 60-70mph, though I dont have much to compare it to. Other than that I love the looks, it's really light and it fits me perfectly.

Arai Quantum F, very comfortable for me but damn noisy too. Earplugs are an absolute must, not that I would ride without now anyway.

Cheers

Very comfy, well ventilated and the pin-lock anti fog thing works well

The Shoei helmets' antifog system is one of the main reasons why I recommend anyone to get them. Great feature!

I have a Shuberth S1. Not the most stylish, but is very quiet, good vents and the flip down dark visor is worth its weight in gold.

(...except that since I met him at the NEC last year, mine has Chris Walkers autograph on the back. Cool
I tried getting Leon Haslam, Neil Mackenzie and James Whitham too, but didn't have a permanent pen with me Rolling Eyes )

EDIT : I've also since got James Toseland to sign the lid recently Thumbs Up

And just for the record the OH has a Shark Alien lid

HJC AC-11, FG-14 and ZF-7. Also have an HJC moto-X lid, and a Shark R-somethingorother.

the HJC lids fit me perfectly. Used the FG-14 for a year, in size Small, but found the padding was packing down a bit, so bought thwe AC-11 at the BMF in an XS. It was an XS I had previously, when I crashed, buying the S was a mistake.

the AC-11 is comfy, quieter than the FG, lighter, and also suffers wind buffeting less due to it's shape. It also has more vents.

Caberg V2 in matt black. I know a lot pf people dont like these but I find it really really comfy, and the inner tinted visor is a nice compromise for when you want to feel the air on your face without getting a bee in your eye!

Nitro patriot welsh flag Very Happy

bought it for 60 quid from a dealer. Pretty comfy, but the visor seems a little out of shape (though that could be from wear and tear) and so I get a small cold breeze in my face when the visor is down that I'd rather not have Sad
