My bro-in-law is looking for flip up helmets and has found a really great price on a Mossi at $100...Does anyone have any experience with these and does the fit compare to another more common brand?...

Thanks,

Bob

My best riding buddy has crashed in two of the Nolan flip up models. Both helmets did their job and stayed closed and protected this head.

For the modest price difference I would go with the Nolan, you can pick them up for $200.

I don't think any flip up can be snell certified, they have not defined the tests that the helmet has to pass yet. I have one of the Nolans. Not a perfect helmet, but fantastic bang for the buck.

Haven't given my Nolans the ultimate test, but I am partial to them. I think I would shy away from any helmet being sold for around $100.

Thanks,

Thanks Innes, that is the site that my bro-in-law was looking at...I suppose for the price it may be worth a try but I was trying to actually find someone who had actually used one...But I guess, like me, this must be a very new or unpopluar helmet...Don't know which...I pretty much got the same, "huh?", response on the ST1300 board...

Thanks Again,

Bob

You might take a long look at Nolan. Last years model can be had on sale for less than $200.00. Over time my shield got scratched, I was able to buy a replacement shield. Parts are available. Try that with the less popular brands.

hay newfie, Snell Certification can only be given to a Full time Full face helmet, they will NOT certify a Flip-up, due to the fact that they might open apon crash. I got that stright from a company that does some testing on helmets a few years back, i personally like the Flip-ups... but really am a stickler on the Snell rating myself.
