sirs anu po masasabi nyo sa mga modular helmets? gaano po ito ka safe? mapa index, zeus, atbp. brands? im planning to buy one:rolleyes:

i think they are safe.... ZEUS, HJC, Fulmer, etc. & other known brands have modular models. and these are all DOT certified. this will warranty us consumers that modular helmets are indeed safe...

i had a 70kph spill face-down with a zeus 508-w modular helmet. gasgas ang mukha ng helmet but still provided protection to my head.

safe naman basta original and DOT approved,well, dpeende sa situation pa rin pag naka open ang modular helmet pag sa crash.

correct me if i am wrong... there is no modular helmet in the market right now that is SNELL certified.

hjc is the best

di naman siguro iccertify ng dot ang helmets (zeus for example) if they are unsafe...

Tested ko na sa crashes yung modular zeus helmet ko 2x....Ok naman na-save nya naman ako at walang galos sa ulo at mukha...pero last month yung ofcmate ko naslide sa service road, he also uses a seuz modular helmet that time..Nung tumumba sya ay napuruhan yung bandang left side face ng helmet....dun pala yung medyo malambot na part ng modular helmet...nagkaroon sya ng fractured sa kaliwang pisngi....try nyo to squeeze yung part ng helmet na sinasabi ko. mafi feel nyo na malambot nga sya...

mag full face ka na lang sir kung di ka nagyoyosi while driving.

modular helmets are also safe imho. pero the best pa din empre ang full face. the lower jaw(movable) part of a modular helmet may snap off in an impact.

i think i've read it somewhere also in the net that there's no HALF-FACED & MODULAR helmets which are SNELL certified... i'll try to look at it again... maraming DOT certified but SNELL certification cost more for manufacturers.

and there's a very cool modular helmet also -- ROOF BOXER V. made in France, pretty much expensive but is either DOT or SNELL certified...

Yung zeus half faced helmet ko sir walang walang DOT certified pati yung new model ng zeus na SNIPER wala ring DOT approved at SNELL certification...Ganun na ba talaga mga new models ngayon....yung modular ko kc dati meron syang DOT approved eh....

ako helmet ko modular "Schuberth Concept"... tama si sir wasted_23 yun lang ang difference ng modular and fullface... depende naman din yan kung pano ka sasalpok sa isang bagay eh...

pero ako tiwala ako sa high end flip-up helmet ko... :)

you've got to see this.......http://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/accessoriesandgear/flip_face_helmet_comparison/

If European cops use it, I'd say it's a good idea. I mean c'mon, cops are all about function instead of form right?:D

same with what happened to my ride buddy., the movable jaw of the helmet snapped off when he spilled., fractred left cheek bone din tsaka black eye..,
any helmet could not assure your safety but at least choose a helmet that could provide maximum protection in case of accident., i'll go for the full-face helmet rather than the modulars IMHO

mag full face ka na lang sir kung di ka nagyoyosi while driving.

what an advice!!

grabe,, di yata advisable na nagyoyosi while driving..isang malaking katangahan yun..

mamu, baka naman ibig nya sabihon, pag short stop, pede na mag-yosi without taking his helmet off. gawain namin yan eh. hihihi:D

ikaw talaga mother,, ibig sabihin naka full face while driving a cage..

;)

he he he...lets go back to the topic...

DOT certified modular helmets are safe as long as you lock the front part while riding...i've seen several people ride their bikes with the front part open...nasa direction naman, di siguro binasa...

AFIK, Snell certification is usually given to helmets used for racing, or riding at this speed...though these helmets may have sturdier shells that DOT ones, a study suggest that a rider who test the asphalt at normal street riding speeds are far better wearing DOT certified helmets that the Snell certified helmets.

mga sir naka modular na fulmer ako... ived read the user's warning halos karamihan naman ata meron nito ng mga brand.. depending on the nature of impact, even a very low speed accident can result in serious head injury. it is designed to absorb some of the shock of head impact. it will REDUCE the possibility of head injury to the head and brain in minor impacts BUT ITMAY NOT PROTECT AGAINST SUCH INJURIES ON GREATER IMPACTS.
addition to that no protective headgear can protect the wearer from all forceable impacts.
un lang po.:D

modular helmets are also safe imho. pero the best pa din empre ang full face. the lower jaw(movable) part of a modular helmet may snap off in an impact.

eto kinakatakot ko pag naka modular.

ako naka modular masasabi koh lang subok na sakin ang modular.. gamit koh zeus 508 modular helmet nung na aksidente akoh ok naman.. 2 be rily safe fullface na lang bilin moh, like HJC, AGV, ARAI, ZEUS..

ride safe bro ___________________________________________________________________

ok lang din naman sir yung modular, yun nga lang may mga hindi maiwasan na pag bumigay yung lock sa modular tapos. yung fullface naman mas matatag sya compare sa modular when it comes sa sitwasyon na sa harap ng mukha mo yung disgrasya.

here's a link of all SNELL certified helmets....

http://www.smf.org/certlist/std_M2000_M2005.html#up

wala pong modular helmet from any manufacturer yet that are SNELL CERTIFIED. probably because DOT certification is easier to get than SNELL. and DOT, being acceptable in the market, makes most manufacturers settle for DOT certification na lang. normally, super expensive helmets are SNELL certified. all SNELL certified helmets can easily pass DOT certification while DOT certified helmets may flank SNELL certification... the net also sez:

If They're The "Best", Why Aren't All Helmets Snell Certified?

-Some helmet manufacturers do not believe that they need such certification to demonstrate that theirs is quality protective headgear.
-Some are content with meeting the minimum requirements for helmet safety.
-Some helmet manufacturers try to meet Snell guidelines and just can't make the grade.
-Some helmet makers could care less about the consequences of making an inferior safety product. Instead, they opt for the best "look", or the cheapest price.

Guys, I notice many many riders wear their modular helmets with chin up while at speed and I think this is very dangerous.

Personally, I ride with my modular helmet flipped up while waiting for a stop light or only while maneuvering the bike while parking.

hmm.. modular pa rin bibilhin ko.. hehehe

Ako po mga Sir naka zeus po ako na modular. nakakadalawa na ako nito yung gusto ko kasi na shoei na modular nasa 35k and mahal. ok naman ang modular pero kung sa safety sa palagay ko po mas matibay ng konti ang fullface dahil baka nga mag snap ang lock pag masama ang semplang mo. advantage naman ng modular during Police checkpoint di mo kailangan hubarin helmet mo para makita ang kagwapuhan mo lalo na pagnacheckpoint ka sa MAKATI!

Ako po, i use a ZEUD 508W n Helmet.. Last Tuesday, I had a spill.. tumama po ung helmet sa sahig(sympre helmet una..).. Mgnda tlga ung Zeus kc hindi ako nsaktan o ngkabukol man lang.. kso ang ikinatakot ko eh, bumukas ung modular pataas.. buti sana kng ung salamin lang kaso ung buo ang bumukas.. Halos mahalikan ko tuloy ung aspalto.. kaya ako, kng bibili ako ng next helmet ko hindi na modular..

Ako, dalawa hemet ko. Pag pang long ride talaga, full face, pero pag quicky at city driving lang, modular gamit ko.

yes. modular helmets are safe. full face helmets, on the other hand, are safer.

maganda bang pang backride and modular? or half face?

@sir sir jopay22
sir baka naman hindi naka lock masyado yung helmet nyo kaya bumukas?

--kung gnun pala talaga palang may tendency na bumukas ang modular pag nasemplang ka??

@sir criscinco

oo nga sir mas ok gamitin ang modular lalo na sa mga checkpoint wehehehe

nakabili nako ng zeus 508
