Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

flip front helmets are great. i had a boxer helmet which i sold because i found it too noisy but it might just have been down to it being old. testimonies i have heard from boxer lovers is that because the chin bar can be rolled right back over the head it makes for a much more comfortable 'best of both worlds helmet' because you no longer have the weight at the top of your head the way you do with conventional flip helmets.

also they look better when they are flipped all the way over than when they are down in their full-face guise.

That is exactly my take on the Boxers, I tried the C3 pro but didn't like the close fitting of the chin bar against the chin and the weight up top seems unnatural. Totally agree about the Boxers being noisy, I can hear every mechanical noise on the bike wearing mine.

The Arai jet has been my best compromise for a while now, I stopped looking for alternatives for a few years. The model I have is the SZ/f, available new for just over £200 which is good value.
