| Your Dream Helmet Ok, if you could buy any helmet you wanted which one would it be. Post a picture of it  Mine will still be the Scorpion EXO 700 or maybe the EXO 1000. If Vemar helmets were still available maybe a silver painted one made of carbon fiber. Scorpion on the left view, Vemar carbon on the right. Also here is a nice thread on a review of a Vemar helmet. Apparently now they are only available in European standard. They used to be available in the US with a DOT and/or SNELL standard.

| Re: Your Dream Helmet Son of a gun... the Vemar is DOT approved. I want to try one on. I'm really liking the red VSR2 in the photo of that web bike world link. BTW, i think the paint is ChromeIllusions and a Dupont paint store can mix it up for anyone. |

| Re: Your Dream Helmet Well I would like to go to a shop where they have basically every helmet made and in every size available. That would be the sheeit! But yeah I bought my Shoei X11 recently and I really cant ask for more. Great fit, ventilation, light weight, cool paint job (Kiyonari.) I love the Norick replica though.... |

| Re: Your Dream Helmet the exo-1000 looks like a great helmet, inside visor and cheek pads that can be inflated to fit your face better. |

 Here in Phuket I was bloody lucky to find a Shoei Z4 and believe me I hunted around. Have to say the same as you for the Z4. I'm well pleased with it. | |

| Re: Your Dream Helmet Well, I can't really say what a dream helmet for me would be...I think I have the best helmet out there right now, for my head shape...and that helmet is the Shark RSR2. Very comfortable and light, to the point where I even forget I have it on sometimes. I especially love how they design their helmet's EPS liner with crush zones. As a Shark rep said, "in a crash, the helmet will protect you but it gives it's life to do it." I can live with that, especially if it lets me live with that. As for a dream helmet, maybe my RSR2 with an internal visor and the Reebok pump-style cheek pads like a Scorpion EXO-1000. But with an optically correct internal visor, unlike the EXO-1000, and with the pump type feature only around the bottom of the pads, to act similar to the chin curtain most helmets have in front. And a dark smoke visor that looks like a dark smoke from the outside but works like a high contrast (amber) visor from the inside? With built-in chatterbox/bluetooth functionality? Yeah, I think that will be all for now. |

| Re: Your Dream Helmet I have a Vemar VSR carbon with blue iridium sheild.. It is by far the lightest helmet I've ever had. You almost forget you have it on. BTW, someone is now importing Vemar again to the States. |
