For anyone considering the Vega, you should know it's literally impossible to wear glasses with that helmet. Im not saying it's difficult and you have to shimmy them in, I'm saying it's actually impossible
Is it the cheekpads(I mean when inserting the glasses)? Or the space for the back of the ears is very tight that your glasses wont have space behind your head?
@@omniumg1355 The cheekpads come very forward on your face so they sort of bend around your face. The tight spot is right on your temples, the space around the ears is actually fine. I ended up selling it and just buying the Shoei Glamster.
If the manufacturer for the Vega is the same as for the Torc Newport, then I disagree. I happily wear glasses with the Torc Newport (previously called T1).
I bought that Origine helmet in a pinch when i forgot mine at home while trailering my bike to a ride..I was plesently surprised with it and am pretty happy with my purchase.
Bought a ByCity earlier this summer for trips to the coffee shop/slower rides. Comfy, light, huge vision port. Great with goggles. For a first time 2nd Helmet option it’s been great. Nice video as ever… UR; the benchmark.
does it run true to size? my head measure 56.5/57 cm the website recommends a size M, what's the safest choice? On the video it says that they run 2 shell size so I guess size S has the same shell size as the M correct? Thank you guys in advance!
Roadster 2 may have the best look. However, the Shoei Glamster still seems to be the king of retro full-face helmets in this style at a 4/5 SHARP rating.
To me (It's subjective) the Glamster doesn't look all that retro. Then there's that NAME! I could never say that word out loud - utterly horrible, flesh-crawlingly naff 🤣
@@duncanjowett5575 It’s hilarious you mention this because I have one and I get compliments on it ALL the time, from bikers and pedestrians alike, but whenever I’m asked I just say “Shoei” because the name is so god damn embarrassing to say out loud. It is definitely the smallest shell helmet out there though, and it looks cool on every style of bike.
@@WILLGRAYY 🤣🤣🤣Love it! When I was a kid in the 70's there was an ice lolly that I loved but I just couldn't ask for one - it was called "Lolly Gobble Choc Bomb". Same kind of thing.
Thank you so much for the video. But choosing among these helmets, I accidentally tried on Simpson and fell in love with his aggressive style and bought a Speed model
The Bullitt looks awesome but it's a shit helmet for how expensive it is. My buddy has had two of them and he now uses a Biltwell Gringo S and he says the Biltwell is way nicer. From having a Gringo and trying on a Bullitt, I agree.
There's a helmet called vcan 135 which is an exact copy of the bell ..it also reaches 22.06 safety but says made from fiberglass ...its only £199 ..I thought the bell bullet was a safer helmet or is that just band name playing tricks on the mind 🤔
i have the roadster - the few times i've been caught in the rain with the visor, it's been a little problematic with the fogging, but not as much water leakage as you would expect. I actually prefer to ride in the rain with riding glasses instead of visor. it's not great at higher speeds or cold cold weather because of the lack of a chin curtain and aforementioned fogging. hope that convoluted reply helps! also, i really love this helmet
@@riotmode666 thanks. I ended up getting a Torc T1 which has speaker pockets although they are not deep enough for the speakers. I had to go a bit into the foam. No big deal though.
They just use the Torc brand in the US and the Origine brand everywhere else. Many companies do that with branding. Nothing really unique or surprising about it.
