[QUOTE="Kneedragger55, post: 1297434, member: 89183"] I love Bell motocross helmets, but haven't had one in a while. I'm guessing you have a Bell? What model? Their newer stuff is supposed to be nice, but they didn't produce a top tier street helmet for a while right? I do see a few motogp guys wearing them. Quieter is measurable (decibels). Softer is also measurable (Mohs Scale), I'm pushing it here but yea I get it. Thicker visor is important to me because I'd rather it not shatter when I wreck, or bend when I put it up or down. I like my 3mm Shark visor over every helmet I've owned, it just feels more sturdy, has less glare, and I feel better protected. It's also rated for F1, which means it damn well better be safer. Also, nicer visors have better optical clarity, which the Shark Race R Pro has advertised. Quantitative = numbers = data = science. I welcome opinions, because although we may not use Mohs scale to "measure" the softness of our helmet liners, if 9/10 people say 'that liner is scratchy as hell'; I'd say that's quantitative too, and Moh would likely agree.
