Right now, SparX for me. I like it much more than any other helmet I've owned.

Umm, I was using a Shoei RF-1000 until the crash at the Beave. I'm in need of a new one now though, lol. Most likely going to be a Shoei RF-1100.

I have had 2 Arai Profiles, both trashed in crashes. I will be buying a new one soon, just looking for sales, deals and the new ones to come out. The profile fits my noggin great and it is a quality lid. I tried on many others but none fit this good.
I just hope i don't continue to go through one a year as they are a little more expensive than other lids.

By the way, what do you guys do with your old helmets? Mine will probably be on the shelf for braggin' rights, lol, and left to the kids to play with. It's funny, but I still have a knee jerk reaction when they drop it on the concrete basement floor. :grin:

I have 2 AGV helmets that are in great shape but about 13 years old. I wouldn't trust them for protection but hate to just toss them.

My old RF1000 is sitting on the "rack of shame" in my garage :-)

I toss them or give them away after awhile. I got rid of all the open face ones I had at a yard sale, I think I sold them both for a buck. One helmet I took the sawzall too and stuck a machete in it for Halloween. I donated my old AFX to the kid's band for thier rummage sale, never crashed and still nice. They got $15 for it. I still have my HJC, I used it for my MSF class because I knew it would get soaked with sweat and rain. I got more dirt helmets that I know what to do with.

I like suomy for the air flow on hot days other then that i actually prefer my icon, my head doesn't move around nearly as much as it does with the suomy at high speeds
