Lightweight Full Face Helmet with built-in Sun Visor?

[spydersg]

Can anyone recommend a lightweight FF with a built-in sun visor?

I am wearing a Schuberth C3 now, but looking at an extra helmet for pillion.

Thanks!

How about AGV S-4 SV?

I'm personally using it. Feels lightweight enough for me. I dun have the exact numerical value of how light or heavy it is, but it feels light enough that i dun mind not taking it off my head, ever.

Only downside is, it doesnt use a double-D ring and hence is not PSB approved.

I bought from Regina last year for about $350 if i remembered correctly.

 

If you're the type concerned with PSB approvals, there is the AGV Stealth SV:

SHOULD be PSB approved cos it uses double-D rings. (should be cos i've never inspected that helmet for a PSB sticker and i'm just assuming it is cos its using a double D ring retention system)

Available at Regina for $500++ (based on a fellow rider when i asked him how much he bought it for)

 

Not sure if there are other helmets FF helmets out there with sun visor.

Reason i got the AGV S4 were exactly the same reasons u pointed out above. It was lightweight, came with a sun-visor and fit nicely within my budget of below $400.

You my friend, are rich...

GP tech: $700+

Stealth SV : $500+

 

But maybe not as wealthy as our Spyder riding Thread Starter friend who is using a Schuberth.

I have no idea how much it costs, but i do know its one of the more expensive helmet brands around.

Maybe a unique exclusive ride deserves an equally unique expensive helmet.

hehehe

mmkbad your signature pic remind me of tron. hahaha

[outdoorchap]

Its bloody expensive mate. But for the safety and comfort, not to mention the peace of mind, I'd rather be safe than sorry. the Schuberth helmets are really cool!

 

Btw, spyder@sg! Hows the spyder?

[spydersg]

Come on guys! Hahaha...

The Schuberth C3 is a good helmet, but its really not as expensive as some other helmets out there lar.

But I must say its a good and safe helmet. Very light and quiet.

I got it mainly becos I needed a good flip-up with sun visor as I wear glasses.

As for the Spyder, still loving it, can never get enough of riding it. Hehe...

[kinwei]

Saw Caberg also have FF with sun shade. Maybe you can check it out at Regina at the same time.

Well...the Arais are expensive for a reason bro....it;s pretty comfy and the vents are much better. that one no need sun visor coz the visor itself is tinted

I have been reading up on the S4 & Stealth, and it appears the Stealth is a higher-end helmet compared to S4 in terms of price, but what are the main differences? It seems to me that they are both similar in features.

Thanks!

[outdoorchap]

Similar expect that the Stealth has that small little spoiler at the back. Aesthetic difference was pointed out as the only difference when I asked about it.

I am getting the airbag jacket.

[franz71]
