Thread: Helmet with good field of view from "sportbike crouch" position

    Helmet with good field of view from "sportbike crouch" position

    Looking for a new helmet. I had a Bell that saved my life, and really like them, but the brow part really obscures vision when one is crouched over. Is there a helmet that gives one better field of view through the area occupied by the brow part of the Bell? I recognize that pretty much any well fitted helmet may be very similar.

    Maybe someone has a good idea.

    Thanks for suggestions of where to start looking.

    Regards,
    Stubb.

    Either a schuberth or nexx would be my suggestion they both have a very wide field of vision and are extreemly well made lids.

    The Nexx reviews always call out the huge view port - http://rideapart.com/2011/08/nexx-xr...t-helmet-ever/

    Erico has them, only dealer in Colorado I believe.

    303cycle has Nexx helmets. I was interested in them until I read some reviews. Granted there are good reviews too, so do whatever you want. Definitely has a huge view port though.

    Thanks, I didn't know they were that close to me, their SEO must suck! I'll swing by and check them out.
