HJC
4.3
(49)
"Replaced it with a euro version RPHA 91. I'm sticking with HJC."
"Landed on my head and face RPHA 1N at 40mph and didn’t get a concussion."
"I got an HJC RPHA91 Carbon and it’s my favorite helmet I’ve ever owned. Light, quiet with little buffeting on the highway, and a modular that still has good crash test ratings."
"The HJC C10 is crazy good for how affordable it is."
"If an HJC fits better, your HJC is better than that Shoei."
"HJC probably the best budget friendly, and comfortable helmet there is."
"For ~£250 i can vouch for the hjc rpha 70. Looks nice, blue, white and yellow makes you still visible. Comfortable, does have some wind noise but i listen to music so it doesnt affect me. Easy to fit comms to and has built in sun visors and plenty of vents"
"HJC I71 and the Shoei GT-Air III. The HJC i71 is currently £199 and the Shoei was £550 ... feature wise they're basically the same. They meet the same spec for safety. The HJC is brilliant."
"Hjc rpha 11 if you want a race lid, or another hjc if you want a drop down internal visor - a touring lid. They do 5* sharp ones"
"HJC binili kong helmet CS-15 kasi magaan siya sa ulo and maganda yung airflow. Check mo lang. ECE 22.05 rating and 4 star sharp rating"

"Arai and Shoei are top helmets for safety."
"Don’t skimp on a helmet. Shoei and Aria are expensive for a reason….they work"
"I ride/race with a Shoei X-15. Just put a photochromic visor on it."
"Shoei, Alpinestars and Arai best imo."
"I only wear Shoei’s with photo chromatic visors. I tried other brand back in the day and Shoei usually out performed them."

"Bell literally invented the modern motorcycle helmets."
"Bell MX-9 ADV. Fantastic helmet."
"I just have a regular ol Bell Qualifier DLX. Not the lightest but I also don’t feel the weight for extended periods of riding. It will get hot if you stay still tho lol. ECE certified and under $200."
"Bell"
"Baka Bell Qualifier or NHK R6 swak din sa budget mo. Pareho silang magaan at may solid protection."
"For Bell, you can try Dan's Bike Shop in Mandalagan."

"AGV since that is the only helmet I use."
"Both the AGV K6S and the Shoei RF1400 are pretty good."

"I use an AGV K6S and it’s super comfortable and silent."
"I love agv, shoei and arai are classics but pricey(for good reason). Other options that are cheaper and still good include scorpion, bell and hjc."
"AGV"
"I already have an AGV from Motoworld in SM, it's the one I'm currently using."
"My first helmet was an AGV K1. It was not too expensive ($200 USD) and was also pretty loud but I had earbuds on most of the time. Loved that helmet"

Scorpion
4.3
(19)
"Up vote for scoprion. I have their R1 air and am perfectly happy with it."
"Recently brought a Scoprion Ryzer, best bang for the buck IMO, lightweight, good airflow, good color options & most importantly ECE 22.06."
"Honestly you'll regret buying a cheap helmet once you eventually upgrade my recommendation right now is definitely the scorpion exo r1. It is the best helmet I've ever owned or tried."
"I just bought an EXO-R420 helmet at a brick and mortar store for $180."
"Scorpion r420"
"They make reasonably priced helmets that are feature packed and meet the certifications that matter to me."
"Scorpion is one of the best budget options"
"I think the best value is scorpion helmet they are great and good prices"
"Exo air carbon costs a bit more but is also lighter. Helmet itself has succeeded in tests and are good value for money. Reportedly it has good noise reduction and safety aswell. It has also a built in sun visor, looks good too!"
"I've settled on Scorpion helmets at the moment as they seem to fit well and have decent features for the price."

Schuberth

(14)
"Schuberth"
"I’ve used BMW branded Schuberth helmets for years. The newest system helmet was way too much to have imported to the US so I went with the next best option, the C5."

"IMO as long as it has ECE 22.06 then its a solid choice. Personally I had a Sedici Strada 3 and it protected my face when smacked a Vulture going 55mph."
