Riding Gear Revisited

One is made by Shoei, a quality feature rich name brand with a good reputation and the other is one of many no name brands off of Amazon.

I use a modular AHR branded helmet from Amazon. It cost me maybe $80. I also use an Icon helmet that was given to me by the previous owner of my Hawk. The Icon is probably a better helmet and runs about $250-$300 new, but I like the modular one for ease of use and versatility. The Icon is "flashier", so wins style points.
