Help me pick a lid

Yasko · February 15th, 2013, 10:01 AM

I need help with picking a new lid. I'm getting the Bell RS1. Any ideas?

EternalNewb · February 15th, 2013, 10:06 AM

What does your bike and the rest of your gear look like?

The orange one

I highly recommend http://www.nexx-usa.com/

Best bang for your buck. And your peripheral vision is insane.

I have a lot of gear and a black bike, and a red bike.

bfpower · February 15th, 2013, 11:06 AM

The black/white/red one would be my choice.

Yasko · February 15th, 2013, 11:19 AM

The orange Roland Sands is in the lead so far for me.

xSean13 · February 15th, 2013, 11:22 AM

Numero uno.

lgk · February 15th, 2013, 11:51 AM

the orange one for me as well.

unless you were wearing charcoal suit, then i think the black paisley would go well with it.

vman1313 · February 15th, 2013, 12:55 PM

They are all sweeet...get the one that matches your gear and bike.

csmith12 · February 15th, 2013, 02:52 PM

White and gold for me. "Don't work had to fit in, work hard to stand out."

antiant · February 15th, 2013, 02:54 PM

Black and white one. I actually almost got that one.

adouglas · February 15th, 2013, 03:04 PM

o'ange

Yasko · February 15th, 2013, 03:15 PM

I bought the orange Roland Sands for $250 otd.

I love the fit, and style, and I couldn't pass on the price.

checho323 · February 15th, 2013, 03:16 PM

Red and Blk

tooblekain · February 15th, 2013, 06:02 PM

You should make sure the Bell RS-1 fits you properly first.. If it doesn't your questions about which one to choose won't matter.

For example, I am a Shoei head/guy and needed to get a replacement. Some Arais fit me right and some dont (can't remember the submodels). The old AGC styles did not fit me rigth whatsoever but the new ones do. The KBCs and HJCs do not fit right on me at all. The Scorpion EXO -700 fits right but the 1000s do not. For Bells, I need a small for a Star but I need a medium for the RS-1. The Nexx's fit me pretty good too.

If you have tried the RS-1s and they fit you properly, I would go with the white and gold.

Boom King · February 15th, 2013, 06:23 PM

I've tried on the RS-1 and I would describe it as a long oval head shape. If you have more of an intermediate oval shape the Bell Star or Vortex would probably fit you better. Having said that, everyone is different of course.

I all ways give the local shop a chance to get my money over the web store.

I uses the local shop to try on gear, and to check the quality first hand, so it's only fare that I give them first crack.

I agree, support local, they may eventually give you discounts, or just ask them up front that you'll buy from them if they do. Try CycleGear if there's one near you. I like being able to try stuff on first & usually get great customer service instead of having to ship a product back & hope they take care it properly.

No one could touch the $249.

The best they could do was $300 on a solid color.
