hi all im looking to buy another helmet...as in what i call an "off road" type
with the peak and part open face.

Are these legal for the road and can anyone recommend any decent makes??

cheers jon

I've got a KBC Super X-7 or something, which is a great lid, and a great price.

It's the bottom one on this page - some of the paint jobs are a little sudden for me, but the black and grey one's a treat:

Get a pair of Oakley O Frame goggles, and you're done and dusted - visor misting is a thing of the past

Oh, and it's fine for glasses, too, as are the goggles.

excellent thanks for that..has any tried Wulf??

Are you refering to the enduro version with the visor ?
i know with the marushin you can leave the visor on the helmet and still wear goggles also can verify that it stands up to a heavy fall

boy at work has a marushin, with the visor, sort of thing charlie and the other one wore on 'the long, long, interminably long and boring way down'

it seems quite a nice helmet, hes happy with it but you do need a thin face to fit into it and it does make you look like a star wars extra

I am a large fella with a round face and found it is a perfect fit ,the ones Ewan and Charlie wore were the very expensive and overrated arai tour x,very noisy and the peak lifts at speed ,but they are very comfortable but did i mention VERY EXPENSIVE

im a bit of a cannonball head and ive never been able to get an off road style helmet on, they all seem to have very small narrow holes.
cant get schuberths on either, even XXL, so maybe its me, maybe im weird or an alien or something

Wulf helmets are very good, If you choose this option "phone" them direct and you'll get a much better deal than buying from a shop or online dealer
