Helmet preference

[stewy42]

Hey guys. I'd like some opinions on a good helmet. What have you found that you like best. I'd like something fairly light weight but that also allows you to have good vision. I have a fly helmet right now and it's just not very comfortable for me. I know different brands and models may work better for different people but thought maybe this would help narrow down some options to try out since there are so many out there.

I have a couple of the 509 C2 Helmets and for the price I think they are the best carbon fiber helmet. I would go try all the brands on at a shop though to see which one fits the best with your head because each one is different.

Motorist Dominator helmet is the one I like. Also as mentioned above the 509 is pretty sweet too.

Ultimately this is my favorite

Motorfist Dominator helmet is spectacular! Very light, and also has built in GoPro mounting. It is also very comfortable! I would highly recommend it!

HJC CL-X6. It's HJC's mid range helmet, and it outperformed all of the high end helmets in a comprehensive function test that Dirt Rider did a couple years ago, and it's affordable. What was shocking in that test was that across the board, the high end helmets transferred more shock to the noggin than the mid or bottom end helmets. A few companies didn't let them identify the helmets specifically in the article, they could only publish the price.

Clem's still has a lot of the Motorfist helmets in stock. Was there a few days ago and had quite a few out on the floor.

HMK Fly2 Carbon fiber

Just bought the new HMK FLY 2 Carbon fiber helmet. Great helmet for the $ but you might as well throw away the breath box, it's crap.

Thanks for the replies. It's nice to get some input from the people who actually use them.

Just got the 509 Evolution and so far, so good. I like the wind protection it offers compared to my Thor motocross helmet I was using. Won't have to wear as 'clava as much.

KLIM F4

X2 on the Klim F4, light weight and breaths really really well.
