Motorcycle Half Helmet
What kind of motorcycle helmet should I buy?
I am looking for a retro type helmet for a cafe racer type bike. I really want more protection than a half helmet or skid lid will offer, but I really don't want the look of a full faced helmet. I went and tried on a Fulmer V2 open faced helmet today and it seemed to be what I might be looking for. Is this brand any good? I would consider any retro looking full faced helmets but I have yet to see any.
Scorpion makes a nice 3/4 helmet that looks pretty retro.
Look on www.ride2die.com though. There is a chart that shows domething like 60% of impacts happen in the one area an open helmet doesn't cover.
It's just a choice you have to make. An old style 3/4 looks great but gives you quite a bit less protection.
