diba pang snowmobile ang zeus 990? ginagamit ito pang snow? nde ba mainit kung gagamitin ito everyday? kc field work ako... nde ba mainit?

maganda sana ang 508... kaya lang medyo mahal na sa budget ko... double lense ba ang 508?yung pag masyadong maaraw pwede ka gumamit ng dark lense and pag naulan naman eh pwede ka gumamit ng clear lense

pag naulan ba ang lense ng 990 madali mag fog or mag blurd? kc yung mga mumurahin... sobrang labo na pag naulan..and makabangga ka lang ng langaw eh magasgas agad ang lense nya

paki bigyan naman ng magandang review po ang ZEUS 990 helmet sa mga taong meron na...

im planning to buy index helmet sana kaya lang nalaman kong di pala DOT or SNELL certified yon...

maraming salamat sa mga mag bibigay ng feedback sa

ZEUS 990 HELMET....

this helmet [990] saved me! impact was from chin to forehead! imagine that! but i got nothing but scratch.

ok naman ventilation, not that good when compared with high end ones but suffice...

lens are good... just right for me as I am wearing prescription lenses. madali lang naman magpalit ng lenses...

removable din ang liners para madali linisin.

for me this is enough for everyday riding.

I got my partner a Zeus 990 and I was impressed with the paddings. Makapal siya ang my partner tells me that she doesn't feel too warm while wearing it.
Recently, she tried on an Index helmet and she preferred the 990 over it. Parang manipis daw kasi yung shell, she doesn't feel as protected compared to wearing the 990. If you decide to get one, make sure you get something na tama sa size mo, when I wear her 990, labas ang mouth ko :D pero kasya sa ulo ko ha? The Zeus 990 gives good value for money. :punk:

I'm also using Zeus 990 color matt-black. Hindi gaanong fitted sa ulo ko bagamat medium size siya. Unlike yung medium HJC helmet ko mas-fitted ito sa akin. Iba iba kasi ang shape ng ulo natin kaya siguro ganun. I think masaya ang mga taong fitted ang Zeus 990 sa kanila, kasi mura na at maganda pa ang lens at tama oks ang paddings! Oks din ang finish ng paint!:)

BTW yung ibang Index na nakita ko hindi pulido ang paint. I'm talking about sa mga open-face newest model nila. Sabagay hindi naman ganun ka importante yon. Important is safe siya. DOT/ECE/SNELL approved.

pahabol lang for clarification RE sa pagamit ko ng Zeus 990...

Yung Zeus ko medium size. Kapag tine test ko using my hands (kung talagang fitted ito sa akin) dumudulas sa ulo ko ang helmet. Dapat snug fit siya. Tamang-tama lang ang fit dapat para comfortable ka at kapag I move the helmet using my hands e pati ang scalp ko na mo move din dapat. Kaso hindi. Nag i slide ang helmet sa hair ko which is not safety kung sakaling matumba ako. Yung lang ang ayaw ko sa Zeus 990 yung fit niya sa akin. Concern ako sa safety kaya nga ako nag helmet.

Buti nalang meron pa akong HJC na talagang fit sa akin ever since na nag wear ako nito ke open-face or full-face.

Proper fit

There are potential hazards associated with motorcycle and snowmobile riding and no helmet can protect the rider from all foreseeable impacts or accidents. The best way to ensure maximum performance and safety from your helmet is to ensure a proper fit and a securely fastened chin strap. Never buy a helmet without trying it on first and making sure it is a proper fit. The following points and illustrations are tips to help you determine a fit that is right for you:

1. As a starting point, we recommend you measure the circumference of your head using a flexible measuring tape. Please wrap the measuring tape around your head at approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) above your eyebrows and ears.

You can then use this measurement to refer to our sizing chart. This measurement will serve as a starting point for helmet sizing.

2. Trying on the helmet: Grasp both chin straps and pull the helmet on over your head. If this is the first time your trying on a helmet, you will find it feels tight at first as your ears pass through the opening but should feel more comfortable once you are past that point. Ensure that the top of your head is touching the top of the helmet. The idea is to wear the tightest fitting helmet possible for your head size, feeling comfortable yet snug.

3. You must be able to tighten the chin strap firmly so it will hold the helmet securely on your head. It is critical that the chin strap is properly and securely fastened. To check, try to slide a finger tip between your chin and chin strap. If you can easily slide one or more fingers between the chin strap and your chin, the chin strap is either too loose or improperly fastened. A loose chin strap or improperly fastened chin strap could result in the helmet coming off in an accident, leaving your head unprotected. NEVER ride with a loose or improperly fastened chin strap, the result could be death or serious injury.

4. With the chin strap firmly fastened, it should not be possible for the helmet to be removed. If it can be removed, select another helmet. For a helmet to do its job in an accident, it must remain on your head during the accident. If the helmet does not stay on your head in its proper position during an accident, your chances of serious injury or death are greatly increased.


5. Check for proper fit in the following ways:

* To ensure you have found a proper fit, check to make sure all the comfort padding of the helmet is in contact with your head, forehead, and cheeks. The helmet's inner liner should fit snugly all around your head. If there are any gaps, try a size smaller.

* With the chin strap snugly fastened and holding your helmet still, try to move the helmet from side to side, up and down, and back and forth. A proper fitting helmet will cause your scalp to move as the helmet moves. If it does not, then the helmet is too large. Try another helmet.

* With the chin strap snugly fastened, pull up on the rear base of the helmet in an attempt to roll the helmet off your head in a forward direction. Next try to roll the helmet off of your head in a backward or rear direction by grasping the base of the chin bar. If the helmet comes off or slides on your skin or rotates over your eyes or rotates out of position on your head, it is too big and not the right size for you. Try a size smaller.

Hello!

This is Ryan from Action Hobbies.

About sa Zeus 990, meron syang version for both motorcycles and snowmobiles. Ang difference is naka-dual lens yung snow version (mas makapal) and may parang heater with electric socket para di maging foggy. If you notice the 990 snow version in US sites, parang nakalabas yung visor and in fact, some helmets being sold in our market seem to look like snow helmets.

Shempre di naten yan kalaingan sa motorcycle version.

Thanks pala sa positive reviews sa mga satisfied users ng Zeus 990 :)

Im using medium Zeus 990 black- mat fr Action Hobbies for almost a year na and Im satisfied with it. Medyo silent and di rin mainit gamitin. About the fitting, well it really depends sa shape ng heads natin but for me perfect fit yung medium. For me its really a value for your money.

I'm also using a matte black Zeus 990 like you guys. Bought it, aside from other stuff, from our favorite Action Hobbies!!! :C (Libreng plug ito ah!!!) Recently, I bought a smoked lens from AH (PhP600 lang po), and it's cooler to the eyes during noontime than the original clear lens - I also wear prescription glasses. I've been using it for about 6 months now, and I do get some stares from the madlang people. I'd like to think it's because of the helmet!!!! :punk: ;) :punk: Count me in as one of the satisfied users of this helmet..... ;)
