That seems to be what I've read in most places now. Being that I have 3 destroyed full face Bell helmets in my old motocross trophy case (that were destroyed while I was wearing them), I am one of those who literally never rides without a helmet. Several years ago I did buy a "modular" helmet when they came out. Those are the full face helmets where the front part of the helmet pivots up allowing an 'open face' helmet of sorts when you may not really want to take your helmet off, such as when getting gas etc.
That helmet is at least 8 years old and, to be totally honest, was not a top of the line helmet. I didn't know if I'd like the "modular" helmets, so I didn't want to spend a huge amount on one. Now, I personally wouldn't consider any helmet except a modular helmet. I also like the new wireless intercom and Bluetooth helmets with high quality Bluetooth sound as well as built in AM/FM stereo radios.
After being relatively loyal to Sheoi helmets, I have to admit that my personal preference is now for the Italian made Nolan helmets. I probably should have asked before buying, but after not being impressed with the local prices, I just ordered a Nolan N104 N-104 helmet with B4 RCS B4 RCS communication system.
Anyone else have one of these helmets? I know they are not cheap, but I've always lived with the philosophy of only spending as much on a helmet as you feel it's contents are worth. So...I pretty well buy the best helmet I can buy that is comfortable. Since this helmet has been out a couple of years, I thought maybe someone else here may have one of them.
