Which helmet for Quad bike?

[B'o'B]

I’ve had a full face motorbike helmet for riding the quad for a good many years and it’s getting a bit grim wearing it now so will be looking for a new one. Anyone got any good suggestions which might be a bit lighter and more comfortable which I should look at as a replacement?

Good point! Mainly slug pelleting and soil sampling, plus the odd bit of high speed crop walking when times short. All on a ring fenced farm. Not masses of road work, but a bit.

When I used to instruct bikers on how to ride better (might as well give myself a puff), used a Shoei Neotec. Safe but easy to lift for a chat or to cool off

I would go with another full face and googles.one way you could go for light weight if not used on the road is a full face mtb helmet

I just wear a cheap open face (don`t like goggles/visors etc.) It`s like being let out of prison after a full face - I do curse a bit when a fly gets in my eye though......

I wear my open face trials helmet if I’m on the quad, light and good visibility, it’s a airoh.

I've been wearing a Shark helmet for the last two years.....brought out in conjunction with Yamaha NZ and AU to address the issue of a decent helmet to wear out on the farm for extended periods. Key point is it only weighs 1200 grammes, has vents in the top and cutaways in the sides so you can hear what's going on. Also has quick release fastening... a little pricey... about $300 over here, but far safer than the $50/30 kph plastic Ag Hats that are being soldView attachment DN 385 August 29- Shark Helmet-JD Ride.pdfView attachment DN 385 August 29- Shark Helmet-JD Ride.pdf

Pacific helmets are pretty good too, TBH rock-climbing helmets are probably the best lightweight lids around

I use a Logic one. Light weight, so staff are more likely to actually wear it (though I do insist)

Buy a Moto-x one, get some good goggles. Change it every three years if its ha a few knocks (fallen from the bike, Helmet that is!) If ti has a major knock, throw it away.
