With the holidays approaching, I am in the market for a new lid. As a firm believer in supporting those who support you. I am looking at buying from a company that is supporting the stunt community. With that said, I want to hear from actually sponsored riders about their helmets and the company that supplies the helmets to them. I understand most will just try to push their product because it's their sponsor, but I want to hear why. Not just "I like Craft because they are free".

I am not trying to get only sponsored riders either, any input towards a helmet is appreciated.

 

I HAVE SCORPION EVEN THOUGH NOT SPONSORED BY THEM .I LIKE THE COMFORT .. AND THE DESIGNS..

Appreciate it. I do like some of their stuff.

What about them?

 

imo Arai is the best all around helmet!!!!! but very pricey.
light weight, comfy, great ventilation, and great quality.

 

Yes, I think Arai makes very nice helmets. Also, I wanted to add that I try to ride year round here and it gets pretty cold. So, something with good ventilation and the ability to do the opposite as well. These bald heads get cold.

 

You beat me to it. I am Sponsored by scorpion but i was wearing their helmets before my sponsorship. My EXO 700 is the most comfortable and breathable helmet I have ever worn; and I need maximum air flow because I ride visor down. Couldn't do that with the other Helmets I've Worn. I Highly recommend the EXO 700 series being that its what I were And will Always wear.

 

Good input. Thanks. It's funny because I was actually leaning towards Scorpion before I even posted this. I just want to know what else is out there.

SMF Cycles that does a lot for stunt riders is currently offering half off their craft helmets. Something to check out.

 

Good stuff. I'll definitely check that out.

 

I suggest a Shoei. Not only because they sponsor me and support the stunt industry. Just because it is simply the best helmet out there!!!! Ive been rocking Shoei for over 20 Years!!!

other supporting companys off the top of my head include. icon, jo rocket, scorpion, craft, kbc,

 

I like my shoei right now

 

i like my kbc its pretty comfortable but gets a lot of wind noise if you ride very fast

 

i'm a fan of Z1R helmets.....they are gonna have some new designs coming in 09.....i was wearing a Z1R helmet when i lost me leg and stuck my head through a chevy lumina's windschield.....it held up amazingly well......crash tested/Ryan S approved!

i had a Arai and now i have a shoei and ill never have anything else fits super good, super light (a pinch over 3 lbs). good ventalation and they come with i chin piece to keep the wind from comin up in cold weather

 

new era STL hats!!! super comfy and super sick!!!

 

I had a Shoei RF700 (loved it), an Icon Alliance (hated it), and now have an Arai RX7 RR (best so far). I tried on the Shoei RF1000 and X11 and they just weren't comfortable at all. I really wanted another Shoei but the new ones don't compare to my old one. The Arai was the only helmet I could find that fit well. I tried KBC, HJC, Icon, Shoei, Fulmer, Shark, and Arai. The Shark wasn't too bad but not as good as the Arai.

 

+1! Been sponsored by Shoei Europe for 2 years now and just signed a contract for another 2 years!
