smudger984 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Just seen these new helmets ..... Apico Torx Helmets .... Has anyone got one, are there fairly lightweight? I used a Airoh rock at the moment but I am looking for a change and these seem a good price, just havent seen one in the flesh?

cabby Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 BUT not road legal if you do raid trials With the greatest of respect, have you ever known anyone to get stopped by the police and been done for not wearing a road legal helmet ?

02-apr Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) With the greatest of respect, have you ever known anyone to get stopped by the police and been done for not wearing a road legal helmet ? No but I have known people be injured in a road incident during such an event and the wearing of an unapproved helmet can have all sorts of implications for various parties. I wouldn't be surprised to see an insurance company wriggle out of indemnity by saying that the wearer should not have been on the road.

jimmyl Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Does anybody know how many of the current batch of trials helmets are road legal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudger984 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Does anyone know of a trials helmet that has a removable fabric chinstrap cover, I have a full-face Airoh and this does have it, great for when you sweat you can bung it in the washing machine aswell as the inserts, everything smells fresh and nice. All the trials helmets I have seen have fabric chinstrap covers but there are all sewn in? My airoh trials helmet was like this so I decided to see if I could get out the fabric to put in the washing machine as it was getting smelly and now looking for another helmet as this has runined it :-( I would pay the extra if there was a trials helmet out there like this.... do Arai have this feature or Sheoi have this?

smudger984 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 After a quick search it does look Shoei have this feature but where can you buy the Shoei TR-3 from? and how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudger984 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Yes I thought it would be asy to take off and make something up.... only trouble is the stiching also held together the quick release clamp. So this was one issue but the other is it is stiched really close to the helmet shell and I cant get it off so I am left with half of it ripped off at present :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
