best helmet for $500????

having a look around for new helmet and do feel like spending megabucks

so any opinions on "best"full face helemt $500 max

prefer it to be quietish , lightish and coolish

so what ya reckon

last 2 helmets have been hjc's been pretty happy with them , but some of the
newer brands, like kbcm ogk seem cool ????

 

bought a KBC helmet a few months back

great graphics
great shape and plenty of good vents
removable helmet liner
quick release visors
comfy imho
relatively quiet at 80kph , so good for commute
getting noisy about 100 I usually wear earplugs on day rides

on sale was $200

 

$500 will only buy your rubbish. spend the extra $$$ for something decent.

btw what is coolish?

 

An Arai on sale.

 

The most expensive heelmet I've ever had cost me $230.

A $230 helmet with a $400 paint job. Bargain!

Screw the price Corks and try on helmets for size and fit first.

I'd recommend the Shark RSF2 or if you can find one that has had $50-$100
knocked off it, the RSX. HJC and KBC would be next in line after that.

Get a flip-face Scrote; you'll never go back!!

Then stick with what you know as all brands fit diffferently, and
noise can be a real fuckin bitch.. if you bought one that was $500 and
it was fucked in few mths that would suck.

 

There's a comma missing from that I hope.

Naah; I've got an N100 but the N102 is top of my shopping list.

 

They're certainly cheap enough and worth a look-see.
I'll have to find some who has one on the shelf here in Brisneyland
