Open face helmets

[Water Warrior 2]

Alan what is your excuse for being awake at 2:30 in the morning ? ME.........I am basically nocturnal and retired so I can walk/ride to the beat of a different drummer.

Got up to around 50 this morning, no buffeting/lifting problems, although it was a bit cool out (Low 50's) making me wish I'd opted to use the faceshield instead of peaked visor.

I use a Nolan N-41 with a removable visor (very similar to the Airoh above) & removable retractable face shield for those colder days.

This model has been superceded by the N-42 with retractable faceshield AND retractable dark sunscreen so it's possible you won't need sunglasses.

Mine has been a super piece. Good fitting with a removable washable liner (very important for no funk riding). They are DOT approved.

It is Italian made (they have small craniums), and they run a bit small (I wear a XXX).

This is my 3rd one and (at least for me) they are undoubtably the lightest most comfy 3/4 I've found. $135 +/-

My last Nolan saved my head in my 2006 accident.

Most times I wear a DOT police Harley 1/2 helmet.

Any advice on how to get my 1 1/2 year old son to take naps? What works for you?

Hi, there.
Mine is almost same kind as yours, but different brand HJC (cheap one but good enough for me).
Both DOT and SNELL approved.
Fiberglass >> it's a really light weight.
I choose one less size for the little tight feelings and for the high speed riding.
As I wear glasses, this is almost required option for me.
At the high speed, I mean high speed (90 - 120 mph on my experiences), no problems at all if face-shield is on.
Just little bit more wind noise, that's it.
If I hid behind the wind screen, the noise also removed all.
I like the one I'm having now...

To make nap, let the baby exercise; make him/her move around after good baby meals ????
Just thought....

Wait 49 more years. It'll come naturally.
