Adventure helmets with sun visor

stu1969 · Oct 31, 2013

I believe that the Givi x01 helmet has a drop down sun visor although I've not been able to get my mitts on one yet. Are there any other similar helmets (adventure) with drop down sun shades?

At the cheaper end of the market there's:

or, if you don't like the graphics, Acerbis do the same lid for double the price.

Ditto. X-Lite 551 works perfectly and very comfortable.

+1 for the 551

How would you rate that lid for noise? Was looking at arai tour x4 but heard they were noisy!

I'm a plus one for X-Lite. Very good quality but of kit and can be had for more reasonable pumice than the Arai option. Still not a cheap lid, but I have a cheaper "adventure DS lid" and it tells.

I find mine quieter than the Aria Quantum that I used to use.

Thanks for the replies. Trouble is I can't find a retailer that stocks either anywhere near I live (Sheffield) anybody got any suggestions?

That was a problem for me when Denise claimed mine. Ended up getting one from Germany, Motion.de, but of course I had the advantage of knowing I liked it. The fit is similar to other X-Lite, and Nolan helmets, so maybe try some of them first to see if they are your cup of tea.

I wouldn't know the size without trying one on first. Chicken and egg thing.

I appreciate all replies. I'm still interested in looking at the Givi one, does anybody know who stocks it?

SkyGod · Nov 12, 2013

We are only in Manchester mate if you want to try the X lites on. Have plenty in stock if you fancy a run out for an hour?

earthmover · Nov 12, 2013

Shark are advertising a helmet for 2014 that matches your requirements. I feel a bit of patience will see Shoei and the like releasing such a helmet sometime in 2014.

Thank. I will do

Ride magazine have reviewed the Givi X.01 this month and said it's NOISY!!!!

That's one off my list.

Doing a bit of a thread resurrection here, but I just ordered an X-Lite 551 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XLite-X55...K_Motorcycle_Helmets&var=&hash=item1c38156710

Seems like a reasonable price.
