What is your helmet color?

[larcklorn]

Starting to look for a new helmet and color options seem to be limited in some brands and amazingly diverse in others - what do you have? Lets see what everyone else likes on here.

I have the Icon Alliance Reflective Helmet. Black and Silver.

SILVAH! but thats soon to change. i hate my helmet (scorpion exo1000 small) its loud, falling apart after 2 years (only ridden about 4500mi), and not super comfortable.

Edit:

Recently bought an Arai RX-Q in WHITE, as promised.

Black Shoei X-11 Vermeulen replica.

looking at Arai XD4, Shoei RF-11, and Bell RS-1. Next helmet will be white, period (especially for that money).

This cracks me up! I have an EXO1000 XXXL, "silvah", 28,000 miles since I bought it in '08, and its very comfortable!
Its fascinating that we all have different experiences with the same equipment, but then I guess that's what forums are for. And we all have different heads!
Two things I don't like about my EXO: the "pump-up" cheekpads are useless to me, it fits perfectly with them empty (guess I'm a jowly kinda guy) and I've broken snaps removing the inner liner for washing.
At almost five years old I'm ready for a new lid, the EXO replacements aren't on the market yet and I'll be hitting the local shops to try on others, the only hard requirement is a flip-down sun shield, absolutely love that feature.
The guy who sold me my EXO convinced me to buy a silvah helmet as it would go with any bike I'd get in the future; but, I sure wish I'd bought a blue one to match my '07 Faster Blue, which I still own and intend to until it falls apart. :thumbup:

I've been looking at the Shoei Neotec, I grabbed a multitec from Ozmodius in blue and it matches my bike color like no ones business and looks fantastic, but the shape of the interior just doesnt fit my head. So I have to sell it before making another purchase.

Exo-1000 for me too. I checked the measurements and bought a medium, I wasn't sure about it at first, but once it broke in I really love it.

EXO-1000 for me too, matte black. Love the fit and vents. Got it on clearance sale a few years back.

KBC VR-2R. Not an accurate pic though. It looks really dark here. I had a silver white one that saved my life so I bought this Blue/white to replace it. The 2 tone blue with white/silver shows more than the black. The black acts as a background and the blue/white really pops out in real life.

[turbid]

these are my helmets, pick your choice

all of them are out of production now tho

 

[Humperdinkel]

OGK FF5 in Blue , blue helmets are a little superstition of mine. Only ever had 2 helmets that weren't blue & they happen to be the 2 helmets I have crashed in

my exo-1000 is plain silver

 

[SweaterDude]

my exo-1000 is plain silver

im looking at this in the white and gold. not too flashy and im a fan of the bandana/paisley print.

honestly, i wouldn't dislike my EXO1000 so much if it wasn't falling apart. I dont mistreat my gear either. I keep my helmet in the bag, clean it after every/every other ride, stored on a shelf in my A/C bedroom, and yet all of the exterior pieces are falling off and all of snaps have been replaced (under warranty at least).

 

[greg]

my new helmet

though i do appreciate the irony of having a giant crosshair painted on my helmet :BLAA:

 

[hattu345]

Plain black. I will get a new one soon, with better ventilation and built in protection for the sun.

I voted light graphics which is pretty accurate...

interesting that you say that, I like this helmet much more than my exo-1000. My quick release knobs ALWAYS pop off that helmet and the internal visor drops down just a hair.....well with the already small field of view i can see it when it does that and its distracting. Not to mention the Bells liner is much more comfortable and I find it to be a little more quiet and flows more air. It doesn't flow much more in the upright position, but lean forward just a little to get aggressive and it moves quite a bit.

I wasn't a fan of the paisley look at first, but like it better in hand than i do in pics and its grown on me despite my girlfriend telling me that its confused.....it doesn't know if it wants to be metrosexual with the paisley or badass with the day of the dead skulls LOL. Oh, the Bell is lighter too, and the magnet strap retainer is AWESOME. I didn't think I'd care one way or another, but I miss it when I throw the scorpion on.

The only thing I like about my exo is the vents. other then that I HATE it! It is LOUD, the shell is soft (when carrying if I brush up against my knife clip it gouges it)

my first helmet RIP :'( was an Arai rx-7, loved it except for the lack of vents, but all around a much more expensive and better quality helmet.
