Supermoto helmet?

[chippoy]

I am a street rider with very minimal track time and limited budget(bet. P4-6T) for a new helmet to add to my stuff, which do you prefer, a motard helmet(with very limited brand/designs) or the usual off-road helmet(with better graphics and more brands to choose from) and just buy a pair of goggles to go with it?

Yeah, pero the artistic side (more like autistic side hehe) of me tells me that there are more available graphics to choose from on off-road helmets! But you're right, having to bring goggles is inconvenient!

If you will be using it on the streets rain or shine, Id suggest a motard helmet for its versatility & ease of use. "Porma-wise", a regular offroad helmet for its wide range of graphics/designs.

Was a user of a regular offroad helmet on the street since 2003. I thought it was the best since it really looks good on a dirt/dual bike. When I got the chance to use a motard helmet, I never looked back. I assigned my offroad helmet to offroad duties only. I use the motard helmet everyday & on long rides. I plan of adding a full face helmet as an extra helmet for everyday use.

Possible concerns that you will have on using offroad helmets are the following:

1. If it rains & you need to ride under it, rain drops will hit your face thru the gaps between the helmet & the goggles. It will hurt.

2. If you will wear a balaclava so the rain drops will not hit your face directly, chances are the balaclava will get wet & you will have problems breathing thru it.

3. Goggles may fog up easily on rainy day riding. It becomes more of a concern when youre riding in the rain & its dark.

Since I ride rain or shine, daytime & nightime, these things made me realize that I need a helmet with shield more than I need a helmet with goggles.

Kapag maaraw, walang problema sa offroad helmet. Pogi ka pa.

These comments/suggestions are based on my personal experiences only. Hope to have helped.

This is a very useful information, I guess will just have to save up for an Arai or Shoei motard helmet. HJC is inexpensive but the limited color/graphics just won't cut it. Thanks for all your inputs, you have been all helpful! God bless everyone!
