i'm gonna buy helmet? my budget is only 4k. i wanted to buy INDEX since its more of style and cheaper than the ZEUS but it's not DOT certified. How good is the DOT certified helmet? do i have to trust my life to INDEX which is not DOT or SNELL approved?

Ei Jawfree since you said that you have a budget of 4K better buy a Helmet that is at least a DOT Approved ones Zues, HJC, and other brand have models for that budget. Think on safety first bago porma IMHO lang po

at 4k budget for helmet you can already buy a Zeus/HJC helmet may not be a flip up one but you can get one, you just have to know where to look

suggestions: try to visit JT triumph for HJC and beside it Exceed motors for Zeus helmets...try to PM accs for your inquiry he is the proprietor of Exceed :)

HTH

style means nothing if it won't protect you dude

@jawfree,

bro, better to consider first your safety. If you could ask everybody here, they would recommend/encourage you to buy DOT and/or SNELL HELMET approved. Like what Grumpy have suggested, better PM ACCS here or do call/text him @ 0916-384-8751. Im sure he will HELP you on your inquiry. :punk:

get the hjc nalang pre it will give you the porma that your looking for and its dot and snell certified na.

yes I recommend HJC. CL-14 model cost about P4.2K. It has a Superior fit and finish with plush Nylex interior feature. Ibig sabihin washable ang cheek pads.:)

Since bibili ka na. Consider mo ito.

Marami ang nagbebenta ng very slightly use na helmet dahil hindi sila marunong pumili ng size. Sabi nila mali ang nabili nilang size usually.

Para makaiwas ka sa hindi fit or properly fit na helmet consider mo ito:
Consider mo ang circumference ng head. Measue mo ito ng medida (yung ginagamit ng mga mananahi or tailors). Kung ang circumference ng head mo is 57cm to 58cm, yung piliin mo medium size. Dapat snug fit (hindi maluwang at hindi masikip).

I think applicable itong tips na ito kahit anung helmet:

but what does TIS 369-2539 mean?
or AU0022/00? it is on the stiker on the lower side of index helmet.

DOT is Dept of Transportation certified.

Snell I think is better than DOT. Snell is from Snell memorial foundation. www.smf.org

Talaga ha!!!! aba! aba! aba! Bakit ako walang free balaclava nung bumili ako ng helmet :eek: Me promo cguro cila ngayon :O

i gave marian my sweetest smile eh. HARHARHARHAR!

pre baka model no. yun. but sorry to say, hindi yan dot and snell certified.. unlike hjc or zeus..

if you guys are going to buy a helmet and your on a budget, get a zeus or if you have a flexible budget, get the hjc. mas sigurado yun.

... if you have a flexible budget, get the hjc. mas sigurado yun.
Sa experienced ko lang sa mga helmets. I just want to share lang...

Mas-quality talaga ang HJC at matibay talaga. Nakabili na akong tatlong HJC helmets (CL-12 at FG10K full-face and AC-2 open-face). Talagang DOT/SNELL approved pa. Meron daw kasing helmet na nilalagyan ng DOT approve, pero hindi naman talaga totoo. Actually dito sa MCP ko lang nabasa yun at matagal na ang post na iyon.

HINDI ka magsisisi sa HJC. Nai-compare ko kasi sa isang nabili ko rin na helmet na hindi HJC brand. Kahit P4.2K pa or pataas basta meron budget yun ang mas-magandang bilhin talaga.

Kapag nagka blessing ako bibili ako ng CL-14.:)

mga sirs, do you have an idea how much a cheapest HJC helmet?..medyo low buget tayo pero gusto ko kahit papano DOT approved.. :)

4k plus HJC
4K below ZEUS

BOTH ARE DOT APPROVED

but what does TIS 369-2539 mean?
or AU0022/00? it is on the stiker on the lower side of index helmet.

Bro, If I'm not mistaken, certification rating din yun kaya lang sa Thailand lang honored unlike DOT or SNELL, internationally honored sya.

BTW, I got a ZEUS 508 at Action Hobbies for 3K only! Wala nga lang free balaclava.

Huwag lang mura or cheaper price ang bilhin ninyo, dapat i consider din natin ang fit and finish. Ang ganda talaga ng fit ng HJC at ang pagkagawa or finish quality talaga. Matibay eka nga. Yung pads palang makikita mo ang difference sa ibang helmet. Yung chin strap makapal compare sa Index at Zeus AFAIK. Meron din kasi akong Zeus helmet.

Yung nabili kong Zeus hindi ko nagustuhan ang fit. Kahit medium size (57-58cm) medyo maluwang. Yung small naman e talagang small na hindi kasya sa akin.

Kung meron lang akong budget na P4.2K noon binili ko nalang HJC CL-14. Yung HJC talagang ang ganda ng fit. Mas-fitted ibig sabihin mas-safer or safety ito in case na sumemplang ka.

Meron P3.8K na HJC. Model CL-12, pero hindi washable ang cheek pads. Yung CL-14 naman washable ang cheek pads at P4.2K. I think meron pang discount AFAIK. Siguro mga P4K. I'm not very sure.

BTW yung chin strap lock ng HJC CL-14 mas-matibay din ang dating kung compare ito sa ibang helmet brand na lower price (from P3.8K to P4.2K).

yup.. i agree.. masarap talaga isuot HJC.. CL 14 Fuse ang gamit ko.. medyo malaki nga lang tingnan kase makakapal nga ang pads sa loob kaya medyo malaki ang size ng outer shell. dapat mamuhunan na lahat ng biker sa helmet kase buhay ang katumbas nyan.. kahit mapamahal pa sa price. and pinakasure na ang DOT approved. im planning to get an ARAI kase matagal ko na gusto yung aerodynamics design nila sa ibabaw.. kaso medyo mahal nga... BTW nagtanong nga pala ko ng strap lock.. sabi ng dealer hindi daw appoved yun ng DOT.. pero pinalagyan ko na din ang akin .. ang tagal kase bago mailoop yung strap pag wala yung easy lock..

guys, i bought my new ZEUS 508 helmet already at action hobbies. may free pa balaclava..

bumili din ako ng zeus 990 last sat, bakit ala free balaclava? hmmmm.
baka sa higher model lng yun.. tuwa ako helmet ko. katabi ko p matulog. :O

... BTW nagtanong nga pala ko ng strap lock.. sabi ng dealer hindi daw appoved yun ng DOT.. pero pinalagyan ko na din ang akin .. ang tagal kase bago mailoop yung strap pag wala yung easy lock..
Yung CL-14 na nakita ko meron siyang quick release na chin strap lock. So yung nabili mo wala siyang easy lock or quick release lock?

Go For the HJC nalang ako dati naka index ako.... nung wala pa akong kamuang muang sa safety...

pero nung nag start nako mag race nalaman ko na di DOT certified yung index. kaya pinalitan ko kagad ng CL14. chaka for me kasi parang marupok yung index...

atleast kung HJC sigardo na safe ka. :)

Tama ka! Like what I said naka tatlo na akong HJC at sinubuk ko ang ibang brand, ngayon mas-satisfied parin ako sa HJC. Next kong planong bilhin is CL-14 or yung removable and washable interiors.:)

if you guys are going to buy a helmet and your on a budget, get a zeus or if you have a flexible budget, get the hjc. mas sigurado yun.
Yes, kaya mahal ang HJC CL-14, kasi DOT and SNELL approved siya at yung interior is Superior fit and finish with plush Nylex interior.

Ok! ang CL-14! go for it bro! :cheers:

nabasa ko nga sa isang article ng DOT na hindi nga raw nila approved ang easy lock. according to their studies, bumibigay ang lock pag nagkaroon ng malakas na impact. thus, wala ring silbi kung DOT approved pa ang shell ng helmet kasi kakalas din sya sa ulo mo.

pare, unahin mo ang safety kesa porma. mamamatay tayo kung puro porma.

DOT Approve na ba ang index helmets?

DOT Approve na ba ang index helmets?

Yan ung nakalagay sa Face shield ng mga bagong INDEX, Im planning din kasi to buy a 2nd helmet ung pang araw araw na pede ko iwan na nakasabit sa motor, Mahirap kasi kung medyo mahal iwan mo sa MC mo. TY

yup index helmets are dot certified.

Sir, Sorry 4 asking, Im just new. May I ask whats DOT stands for?

Department of Transportation

YES. Index is DOT approved.

They have the best approval rating for locally made helmets in Thailand too.:)

thanks sa mga reply nyo, plano ko kasi bumili ng bagong helmet HJC or ZEUS kasi iniisip ko yung quality kasi meron akong helmet index lang pero since mukang ok naman ang index di na siguro ko bibili ng bago and mahirap iwan sa motor ang mamahaling helmet. thanks uli!:s
