hey guys! question lang.. what kind of helmet should i get kung vespa ung scooter ko... Baka kasi baduy yung mabili ko o kaya not suitable for a scooter also, what kind of protective gear should i get? thanks!

astiboy,

did you finally get that elusive PX? anyways, yung bagay na helmet sa mga wasp, tingin ko ha, i'm no authority, is a half-face helmet with shield and visor. It looks nice, I got one recently, an HJC FG-23 which is okay, no visor but it doesn't feel to big unlike the CL-33 and the others.
for long trips though, it's best to have a full face.

Bagay ang CL22 na HJC dyan...

half face helmets look great on a vespa.... cl22 or cl33 ng hjc maganda.

hehe so far mejo malas pa rin! was suppose to buy this weekend but i got the news that it was sold na! bad trip! hehehe guess its not meant for me... anyways will keep on looking:)

Based on my best knowledge it's not advisable to buy a helmet based on your ride. Because sometimes we change rides or borrow rides from other people. So it's best to buy a helmet that is suitable for a wide range of rides so that you won't have to change helmet everytime you change ride.

So far a full-face helmet works best for most types of rides--from big bikes all the way down to scooters!

:)

i think lahat naman bagay eh...

wag lang yung pang-ENDURO type.

basta mahalaga "ALWAYS wear ur HELMET " to make you sure your in SAFE. :cheers: :punk:

That's right.. we mught be after the looks of the helmet together with the overall look of our ride, but we must never compromise the very reason that we are wearing the helmet for safety reason...

just get one the truly fits!!!

I wouldn't suggest you buy a helmet based on your bike. Choose one that fits comfortably, conforms to well known standards and from a reputable manufacturer. Choose a color that you like, not necessarily one that will match the color of your current bike.

Full face helmets are excellent for safety. Flip-ups are more convenient than full face ones because you won't need to remove your helmet if you want to put on eye glasses, drink, eat, scratch, remove an object/insect in your face.

I agree with most of the guys here: Safety First before "killer-looks".
A damaged face wouldn't look good even without a ride would it...
I use a Zeus 508W to date...

crush ko talaga yung HJC ac-3 na helmet.. hehehe snell-dot certified na open face... cooL! bagay na bagay sa vespa...

but if you're going to use your scoot as your daily driver, i suggest an open face w/ shield, mahirap walang shield sa pollution ng maynila :O ... HJC cl-22/cl-33/fg-23 or Zeus 506w... extra cash? go for the dainese d-jet...
