Bakit kaya puro large size ang mga Index full-face standard helmets na binebenta dito sa amin sa Angeles? Gusto ko kasing i try ang medium size. Kawawa naman ang ibang riders na kahit hindi snug fit sa kanila wala silang pag-pi-pilian kaya ganun na ang binibili nila. Hindi kasi safe kung maluwag ito...:(

thats the problem with most mc stores...they tend to stock on Large helmets para sure nila mabenta....
here's what they'll normally tell you..
if your size is small or medium - "suot ka ng bonnet para fit...
kapag naman medyo masikip sa yo - "don't worry...luluwag pa yan pag ginamit mo na....
i just wish this people will realize that helmet buying is critical to the safety of the buyer... and not only think of customers as people who bring in money...

Tama ka diyan bro.! Nakakalungkot nga it seems hindi nila (helmet dealer) iniisip ang safety ng rider... Sa Manila siguro meron medium size. Try kong humanap doon kapag me budget na ako...

I noticed that a lot of Index Helmets are being sold at the tiangges (flea markets). Are these fake or just the smuggled helmets? They all look like the original ones. I know these are made in Thailand. They are even sold at a cheaper price as compared to motorcycle shops.

I think ma no-notice or ma identify mo naman ito bro. kung talagang fake o hindi. Yung original alam ko hindi talaga magkamukhang magkamukha sa quality and finish. Also kung masyadong mura compare sa original na Index, I think peke or fake or imitation ngayon.

Alam ko kasi sa index helmets na from Thailand eh imitation ng shoei helmets, mga designs kasi nila kapareho ng shoei including logo. but since tested na ito na mga riders sa atin ok na rin, now ang original talagang index helmets are from thailand, at may mga imitations na rin from china.. check mo yung stickers sa side pag laminated, from thailand yan, pag dikit lang china yan meaning fake yan...lalo na pag walang stickers. Yung ibang shops dyan mahal din benta sa mga fake they price it like the originals, beware na lang.

Tama ka dyan! Kaya lang wala naman tayong magawa kasi mismong manufacturer ng Index sa Thailand, kahit umorder ka ng medium size eh, ipapadala pa din nila yung mga size na may stock sila. Kaya sa amin, pag naka-tsamba ng medium or xl kinukuha ko, kahit di masyadong mabenta...dapat kasi talaga fit ang helmet.
