more helmet dribble....
Aside from crash protection, wind noise, visibility (both looking out, and others seeing you), comfort -- there's a reason I quit buying high $$ helmets.
EPS (like styrofoam) liners, and the padding deteriorate over time -- SO -- I switched from buying more expensive helmets to less expensive (AC-11, scorpion, and Z1R on order) and buying the much more often!
Instead of buying a $500 lid, and trying to keep it for 4/5 years, buy a $100 every year! (my new philosophy). As an added benefit, you get new technology (if it occurs), and generally the startup companies or newer manufactureres are trying to one-up Arai, Suomy, Shoei, etc. with better products at lower prices.
Get what's comfy, has good ergos (visor etc), has DOT (at least), ain't too heavy, and replace it often. :asshat:
Aside from the helmet -- I can always find good jackets, gloves,etc. but haven't found any overpants.
Any advise on Overpants (over work clothes for protection -- skip the chaps -- I'll be sliding on my ass and hips -and assless chaps don't look good on me anyway!)
