Title: New flip up helmet
Post by: reo on September 04, 2006, 08:36:41 PM

I know you guys are tired of reading all the threads about helmets but I am pretty excited about this one and I didn't want it to get lost in one of the other threads.

When I was at the Chicago windy city festival over the weekend I got to see and try on a

I like it! Would have to try one on . All manufacturers have their own models for head shape it seems. I just got a new Nolan 102 just drilled thru the side and mounted J&M mic headset. Don't think Dennis Kierk will want it back with a hole.

Reo,
Not sure if you caught this review or not. This website has a lot of pretty good info on 2 wheel products...

I picked up a Rev-it Airforce Mesh Jacket after reading all the reviews on summer jackets. They've even got my comments posted up about the jacket.

Read the review on webbikeworld and see that this is the 2nd generation of the Arrow helmet.  I have a Arrow flip-up which I purchased about 3 years ago.  I agree that it is a very well made helmet and this newer model has even more features - better venting and the integrated sun shield.  Looks like a great value.

Yes I saw that review C-Duece, everything review ive seen has put this helmet on top. I got to tell you guys I put the hemet on at the show and it felt great, it also felt very solid for a flip-up. I will probably email her and order one.

Forgot to mention: the only negative I have found in any review was that it did let a little water in from the shield at the top when riding in rain.

And one more thing, these helmet run large in size. I usually wear an xl but found a large fit me perfectly. I found it a little tight in the cheek area but the fit was snug all around good for me in my experience because you know they will loosen up when broken in.
