new "dual purpose" type helmet

Vemar have jumped on the "dual purpose" motocross-lid-with-visor bandwagon. VRX7.

So there's now quite a few of this style of helmet on the market...

Airoh S4
Arai Tour-X
BMW Enduro
HJC CL-XS
Marushin X-Moto
Shoei Hornet (not officially available in UK)
Vemar VRX7

Very nice lid and we sure are spoilt for choice now. I am still happy with my Marushin X-Moto and can't fault it compared to my previous system V helmet

Cant seem to find any pics of it with the visor down - any idea if is a good fit and will keep rian out or is it just a debris stopper for the super-moto boys?.....

If its a good seal then I might have just found my new helmet.......

Don't think that I'd be bothered with the ashes, being Irish. but they were embarrassing weren't they?

Went for the Arai Tour-X in the end in 'Challenge Yellow' - its kinda 'day-glow' and fairly un-missable.....

Nice fit, quiet, light with good visability over my MXlid/goggles combo, nice one all-round I reckon.....

Got it from the Heine Gerricke shop in Glasgow - 349 notes - bit pricey, but its my head in there so what the hell......
