A friend said that using a moto-x helmet in the rain is much better than using other types of helmets especially the full face one.

He says that a moto-x helmet is more comfortable and because of the visor you don't get much rain in your goggle therefore giving you a clearer view of the road most of the time.

Do you guys agree? I haven't tried it out yet but would probably get one soon to see for myself.

sa palagay ko sir...case to case basis...

-what if kung yung ulan eh pasalubong sayo tapos me tulak pa ng hangin?
-another thing is mas madaling maglinis ng VISOR compared sa googles kung meron kang GLOVE RAIN WIPER[see attached pix]

pero merong Mx-Full Face Hybrid na helmet that i'm interested on buying..

Airoh TYGER[see attached pix]

very versatile at me built in visor..pwedeng pang off road or road lid:C

hi. offroad rider po ako. mahirap po ang mx helmet all the time. dudumi mukha mo. mababasa pa ng ulan di tulad ng full face. kaya lang gumagamit ng mx helmet para makapag suot ng goggles kasi sa dirt literaly kumakain talaga ng alikabok. yun naman pong mx-full face hybrid walang silbi sa dirt talaga kasi siguradong mapupuwing din.

sir, di ko sya gagamitin masyado for off road....yung quad bike ko kasi road tyres ang nakakabit...pero minsan pag nag o-off road trailing kami...madalas kakatapos lang umulan...kaya less alikabok...mas worried kasi ako sir sa putik at snooky elements[ebs ng kalabaw kung me madadaanan man by accident] minsan naka mx lid ako...me tumalsik at sa kasamaang palad merong konting nakapasok sa luob ng helmet..sa ibaba ng frame ng googles..dun sa hybrid po na balak kong bilhin...sarado po ng visor yung buong front "cavity" kaya kung me tumalsik man, makakaiwas kahit papano..

Salamat. Mukhang interesting yung hybrid na helmet. I didn't know na meron palang ganon tsaka na "wiper" na gloves. Salamat sa info at makapag-inquire nga sa mga tindahan.

if you plan to ride in the rain...i'd suggest that you apply "Rain-X" or other similar product to the faceshield of your helmet so that water will simply slide away to give you a clearer vision

jetzone,

may idea kba magkano itong Airoh Tyger? yung nakita ko kasi sa caloocan sales na Shoei ay P 22, 000! baka mas mura itong Airoh (sana..) balak ko rin kasi magkaroon ng ganitong klaseng helmet.

blitz,

mahirap gumamit ng mx helmet sa ulan, mas maganda pa ang fullface (or yung hybrid basta may pera ka) kapag malakas ang ulan at may balaclava ka sa loob ng mx lid, mababasa ito. kapag nabasa na ito, sigurado pag exhale mo magkakaroon ng fog ang goggles mo. mapipilitan ka tuloy tanggalin o linisin muna ang goggles mo pero sigurado maya't maya ang gagawin mong paglilinis. kapag wala ka namang balaclava sa mx lid, masakit sa mukha ang tama ng ulan. eto ay based on my experience lang.

salamat po

mga P6,800 converted in peso ang price nya..yung may graphics[red] mas mahal ng kaunti...

between shoei and airoh...mas maganda ang quality ng shoei...but for rhis particular model...ala sila nito...

arai has it's own model-arai tour x.. sobrang mahal...pero quality naman..:C

ako i'm using motox helmet sa wave 125 2005 ko & i like it very much.. mas klaro kase ang tingin ko sa kalye, kung bubuhos naman ang ulan, stop 4 a while & patigilin mo lang ng konti ang ulan tapos broom broom na ulit.. hehehe :B

ride safe bro.. ;)

Para sa 'kin, oks ang mx helmet. Madali kasi ko masilaw sa araw. Kung umuulan naman, just slow down a bit para hindi sa goggles mo tumama ang raindrops, or you can remove the goggles and slow down a bit more. Better yet, hanap ka na lang ng pwedeng masilungan and wait for the rain to stop before riding again. 'Wag ka lang mag-stop du'n sa lugar na medyo delikado (you know what I mean).
