What's a good open faced helmet?

[xrsteve2003]

As title. I wear glasses and find open faced better. It's only for a 125cc
Thanks
Steve

The one that fits you best. However i would not get one because what's protecting your face and chin? Don't you get on with full face and glasses?

I'm a bit claustrophobic in them but maybe get used to it. I know safety comes first.

Hitting the road face first at 60mph coming off a 125 hurts just as much as hitting the road face first coming off a litre bike.

Protect your jaw, wear a full face helmet.

Shark do the Vision R range which have an extra wide viewport and have little slide holes for glasses too.

I wear a few, personally not a fan of the "old school piss pot" style.

Used to be a website called openfacehelmets.co.uk but seems to have gone, think it belonged to a bike / scooter shop in London.

Anyway, my fave is my Spada trials

https://www.spadaclothing.co.uk/product-detail.php?subcat=41&cat=1&product=1173&productname=Edge Black/white

I wear that green laning when it is warm, and I also wear it on my 50cc

I also have a Draxtar P-104 helmet

Many people mock it, but I like the ear defenders built in.

if I had to it would have to be the schuberth j1 because of the chin bar and it would have to have a black visor not just the internal drop down faggot effort

I also like my full face Dual sport motorcycle helmet, the one I am wearing in my avatar

much more open than an MX helmet, the peak is more like that on the trials helmet, and it feels pretty close to an open face

[The Shaggy D.A.]

I wear glasses and have a flip helmet, with the front up the majority of the time. Will probably save the weight and get an open face this year.

Open faced helmets are for hipster faggot types.

Tefs post is long and rambling and ultimately offers little help with the ops question

However, In my Tef induced madness I'm beginning to see patterns in the randomly capitalised words and missing letters, add to this cypher the wrongly spelled words and there's only one logical conclusion...He's passing secrets to the Ruskies!!

Go to a shop with a lot of them and try them on. Buy the most comfortable one.

Some of the Airoh lids are nicely minimal. Light weight, thin profile shells.

I've got a J106 which has a removable chin piece. but they also do dedicated open face ones. They're even making the shells from pre-preg carbon fibre on some of them now.

To quote a mate when he saw mine "That looks like it's painted on". Feels like it is too, very unobtrusive (although noisy).

I wear glasses, can't get on with contacts, am big on safety so sharp 4 star rated flip front.... and then I go and buy an open face.... cos it's cool and hip and big and clever.

My friend had to have his jaw re-attached, as best they could. It isn't pretty. Kerb met jaw. Jaw lost. Multiple attempts to wire it into one piece eventually worked

Get a full face, fuck fashion.

Slid down road at >35mph (last time I saw speedo). Saw tarmac in my right eye.
Still don't believe a flip front wouldn't have come apart. Open face....I'd rather not think.
But, that's just me. I grew up wanting to be a spaceman, why wouldn't I want to wear a proper hat![/u]

My nephew hit a car that pulled out on him, he was wearing a full face, still broke his jaw in three places, hardly a mark on the helmet, throwing lots of money does not always work , a good fit of the equipment does

I've found the 'Held' brand of helmets are excellent for glasses wearers. It's like they were actually made specifically with people with glasses in mind (but its also fine for non glasses wearers).
