I got a super 2R because it was on sale at a pretty good price in the size I needed and the color I liked. I took the chin bar off and it's been in the box in my closet since then. lol If I need a full face I have my SE4 for my motorcycle I can wear.

Just a heads up for anyone EU looking for a new helmet. Chainreaction have the 100% Aircraft DH for 120 (110 after extra discount and wheres my pound sign gone Big Grin ) http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/100-aircraft-dh-helmet-biturbo-white/rp-prod142339

I managed to snag a small so am praying it fits as this will be my first 100% helmet and am usually between sizes for literally everything

Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting a 100% Aircraft helmet. My head circumfrence is 58.5 cm, which puts me right between a medium and a large. I know I should go for the large in that case, but I've read that the cheek pads are quite snug, so would it be wise to go up to the XL?

Edit: I don't have the means to try one on.

Get the large. If you were to get an XL because of snug cheek pads, you would end up with a helmet that is too loose and it will flop around on your head once those cheek pads break in, and the will break in.

I received my helmet this morning and the fit is perfect, in fact it feels like they'll be plenty of give over time, looking at the size chart i'd say you should get a medium (my head circumference is 56.5 and I got a small) as thats up to 58

The quality/weight of the helmet is unreal still can't believe I picked it up for cheaper than a status Big Grin

I have a problem with my current goggles, the cheap Fox Main ones. They get very sweaty and irritate my skin really bad. So I'm looking to buy a new pair, do you guys have any recommendations for something with better sweat management, or maybe a superior material?

I believe the correct term for this is 'dialed'

Absolutely love that. Well played sir.

Are we doing Aircrafts?

I couldn't find a matching Accuri (or Strata) pair for love nor money, so picked up the Air Defence in a sale, total for the pair £150
