    Enduro Helmets. Which one & Why?

    Ok as the tile says I’m considering an Enduro helmet (basically MX lid with visor)

    So I want to know who recons which are the best and why?
    I tend to buy HJC Helmets in the past since they fit better. Currently have HJC CL-14
    My budget only goes to £150max to Arai X-tour are out.

    I already looked at the Marushin X-Moto helmet and found it all a bit too flexible for my liking. Also there Lrg size was too small?

    So who has what and why did you buy it?

    Iv,e got a AIRHO S4 and it works at treat for me plus better vision and at around a £100 a bargain !!!!! also living in France the extended chin bit lets more air in because even though its -6° outside today it does get rather hot here from May till Sept

    Re: Enduro Helmets. Which one & Why?

    I'm wandering about the HJC CLX-S??

    The Helmet only needs to be used in winter months since I tend to wear a MX helmet and goggles when it's summer. The other option is do I just stick with another full-face helmet for when it's not warm enough for MX helmet and goggles?

    I have a HJC CLXS paid £90 ish for it, not a bad lid the double D strap loops are a bit small the helemt is generally ok can be worn as a full face helmet with visor or visor removed and worn with googles





    I wear it to work mainly and save my decent shoei helmet for the big bike and long journeys not to bothered if this one gets damaged also i decide to change my offroad lid and this one is ok for laning aswell not to much money tied up in something that is likely to get scat up

    Other option I have is just get a new visor for my HJC CL-14 and give it a bloody good clean?

    Thing is how long should a helmet last if used everyday?

    Reading up about the life of most helmets mine still has a few years left so I may stick to the cheaper option and just get a new visor and fit it with a Fog-City since my current one mists up and has stone chips on the outside.

    Problem with that is knowing how expensive some visors can be you may aswell just spend an extra £40-50 and get the new lid

    Well if i get a new visor £34 and Fog city optics £35 it comes to £69. No wonder people just buy a new helmet

    Wonder if there is anyway to remove the scratches on the visor?
