LS2
4.0
(28)
"LS2, you'll never go wrong with full face helmet."

"If your budget allows, go for ls2 vector2."
"Get LS2/HJC/MT if you can stretch your budget."
"Another vote for LS2, I have a very long head."
"Currently have LS2 Rapid which I got for USD50 on Shopee"
"Check LS2 magaan at okay ang airflow/wind noise also budget friendly."

HJC
4.1
(19)
"I got it recently and is the comfiest helmet I have had."
"If you don't want to spend a fortune on getting a helmet as it's your first one but want all the safety."
"Hjc cs15 way way better."
"HJC CS15 or C10. Budget friendly, sure na ECE rated."
"Been using HJC C70 for 7 months now, I also wear glasses."
"Suggest ko lang na consider mo modular helmet."
"Try mo HJC Helmet na i40, its above 5K, but half face sya, dual visor."
"If budget can be stretched a bit I suggest go for HJC. C70 or C10 has good Sharp ratings."
"Ls2 or HJC, piliin mo yung 22.06 na yung ECE rating para latest."
"Pero kung retro looking ang hanap mo try HJC maraming mapapagpilian sa budget mo."

Axor
4.1
(14)
"Go for the axor Apex. Great helmet with a ece 22.06 rating."
"You can go for Axor apex. It has ECE 22.06, DOT & ISI certification."
"AXOR ya SMK mein le lo, both are good in terms of safety."
"Axor."
"Ya you can go for axor or smk. Korda tourance is also another option."
"Axor apex are good options under 5k because if something breaks on it the parts will be easily available"
"Checkout Axor Rage. Will be 1400 grams"
"This should be the bare minimum you should get, don't cheap out in helmet."
"Axor Apex (goes for around 4.5-5K) or SMK Steller (same price range)."
"Axor apex 4.2k inr with ece 22.06 dual visor."

Specialized
4.5
(10)
"Specialized tactic 4 on sale! I got mines for 90 cad."
"Thumbs up on the Specialized Tactic IV insane value."
"The specialized tactic four is one of the top on the list for about 100 bucks"

"It's the 3rd highest rated helmet for safety even when compared to $200-300 helmets."
"One of the safest helmets on the market atm is the Specialized Align ii."
"Specialized Camber for $35. Perfectly suited to the style of bike and riding you'll be doing."
"Spez align II mips."
"Specialized align ii is pretty good for the price."
"I really wanted a Specialized helmet but my head did just not agree with any of theirs. I’ve found that smith and fox work for me."

Shoei
4.1
(11)
"The Shoei GT Air 3 in some colour ways, otherwise the 2 are fantastic helmets."
"My next helmet after a LOT of research will be a Shoei NXR 2."
"Ever since I got mine I was so blown away how good it behaved when I was tucked in."

"I have a 2023 Sport Pro and love it. The matte black Shoei GT Air 2 matches the bike nicely."

"The mat black Shoei X14 is great for cruising at high speeds without wind buffeting."
"Generally intercom fit is pretty universal, but some helmets can make fitting a universal one a bit awkward."
"I have the Shoei Hornet X2 and the Arai XD4."

"If you are going Smith, get something with Koroyd. It is better for impacts than anything MiPS can offer."
"Smith make round crown profile helmets and solomon makes oval crown helmets."
"I suggest the Smith Vantage personally."
"If the goal is to minimize the chance of future concussions you might want to consider a helmet that has Koroyd."
