Went modular recently (scorpion exo 960) and can never go back. Ignore the uh.. tomato’s growing in the background, I’m in a state it’s legal to grow in and this was the only pic of my helmet I had lol
Sharing since mine is pretty cool out of the box :D Caberg Ghost, without the chin guard it comes with but with a tube scarf thing covering the exposed area so that I don't eat ze bugs.
To each their own. When I was really young, one of my cousins died on a motorcycle when he hung the chin of the helmet on something and broke his neck.
I know it is completely illogical. But I have a terrible fear of those helmets since then.
And I'm guessing because I put my first 75,000 mi on underneath a bucket. The full helmets feel extremely stifling.
When I was over in Europe it was impossible to get a beanie that was also legal and even the 3/4 helmets made me feel like I was traveling in a bubble. Disconnected.
I like the cardo freecom 4x I just bought for my helmet, comes with JBL speakers. They are never as good as earphones but very convinient. Plus you can answer phone calls If you wish.
I use a sena 20s. I’m not sure what the need for a discrete brick is, but if it’s to prevent/deter theft the senas allow you to pop the main unit off with the press of a button, so when I go into stores I just do that and slip it into my pocket while leaving my helmet locked to my bike.
The secret is, don't. Use headphone earplugs. Well, unless you're one of those heathens with a phone you can't plug a pair of headphones into.
I have a Sena 20S Evo and it's... tolerable... for intercom duty when riding with friends. You can play music through it, too, but having a middleman with yet another battery you have to manage always seemed silly to me. I use Plugfones with it anyhow, so it's much less of a hassle and you get better audio quality to boot to just plug the 'phones into your audio device directly, stick it in your pocket, and go about your day.

Thanks! Always wanted a snell helmet, just need to finish bombing it with good stickers now that I’ve got it!

I wish there was a penny souvenir equivalent of small stickers for this.

That would be awesome! I want to slap so many more (and I have lots) but they aren’t really hitting me as ones I want to put on. I need MORE lol

Bought this a week ago, it's a HJC i91. Equipped it with a Cardo freecom 4x. Feels like a nice lid!
Older ones I have are Schuberth C3 and C4. some Older HJC and a Nolan. All are flip-up model because they work best with glasses.

Does the Cardo also let you listen to music?
PhotatoMan@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
Yes, you can play over Bluetooth or listen to FM radio.

I should look into one for my next helmet.

Just to put a soup bowl into the helmet thread.
This is mine:

I've been hit by enough rocks on the visor to not want the brain buckets

Have an older Shoei RF1200 in black that has a bunch of dead bugs on it atm.
It's comfy.
I need to get a new helmet soon though.
