Friend of mine bought a cheap shcuberg SP helmet.
Let him feel my Shoei NXR.
He says it's night and day.
I went into Infinity, they were pretty helpful, one of the guys a lot more so than the other. But I went in twice and tried loads on. NXR fit me perfectly and is super comfortable.
I work around the corner from Infinity so went in with a vague idea about the xr1100, which turns out is now the NXR. I've got a carbon downhill full face that I thought was light. Wrong, holy shit, this helmet is....well...fucking beautiful!
