I have been loving the look of the Variant and tried one on in Fl when i was down there on vacation as I havnt been able to find a local dealer. Ended up finding one today that had the one i wanted in stock and all sizes so i could compare. He also gave me a great price so that sealed the deal.

I wanted one of those bad, but the only one air found that I liked was the carbon one, and $550 was just too much. I scored a Joe Rocket helmet last week for $150 that fits my budget much better, and replaces the damaged carbon fiber Joe Rocket helmet I'm using at the moment.

I really liked the carbon variant as well.. but there is just something about this white one I love... the 2 tone black and white and the finish is cool... it looks like resin and fiberglass, unfinished, raw, no graphics. Just my style.

Like the weave.

As 'modern' helmets go, that's a different looking one I could like.

Kind of a cool looking helmet. Reminds me a little of the moto-3's back in the 80's.



But what happens if you have the misfortune to glance upwards while at speed? ; )

Really cool helmet. I may have to add to my helmet selection. I've always liked bmw and schuberth helmets, this is a good looking alternative and appears to be kind of dual sporty (or at least look the part)

I had one, quickly got rid of it. I found it heavy and the fact that it quickly became a sail, when I had a cross wind, is what turned me off.

Glad you like it though
