It's a PGR OP01, would get another but discontinued sadly. $36 but DOT approved. And Mr Fish, here in FL we have no helmet laws, I just choose to wear it, so not so stupid.

Thank you k2! I like it...I like it a lot! And yes for that price it would've been worth getting another - say in hi viz yell-o?

Why a White Helmet?

Because it goes with everything! Did anyone say that yet?
My go to is a White modular Schuberth C3. I switch now 'n then with my Nolan N104 modular Hi-Viz Yellow/Neon/Green (whatever ya'll See it as) and once in awhile sport my White Shoei Qwest FF.
I really really Love Helmets!!
I have a few others and am always looking. I sorely miss a 70's 3/4 lid I had. I was moving at the time and gave it away. Ah well, meant to be.

Go White!!

WN found these, almost the same some slight differences, now has a drop down inner sun visor. Price went up a bit but not much.

This season I bought a white helmet - integral motorcycle type with a sun visor, for better protection from the wind and the sun. LS2 FF390 Breaker + pinlock. Pinlock is especially useful when in the morning I go to work and the visor is always clean, not fogged. And the only drawbacks are an uncomfortable clasp on the chin, but the color is white just for PCX

I wore my 3/4 helmet the other day while riding in 90°F temperatures and it was like being in a sauna! By the time I got home my sunglasses had sweat running down them so bad that I had to put my face shield up and let the wind from my riding blow the sweat off until I could get to a proper stopping point.

I have another helmet that my wife and I refer to as our "summer helmet" but after our accident we parked them in their boxes on a shelf because they don't cover as much as my 3/4, which has a full face shield.

I don't know how anyone down in the southern part of the United States can handle full helmets in the summer.

I agree that it is hot in the integral helmet, but my wife insisted that I go out of the city only in it, besides, in Belarus it is rarely hot more than 85F. Perhaps later buy open helmet white color of for hot summer days

It's always fun when you get sweat dripping into your eyes. Trying to rub them with riding gloves on is useless. . .even without gloves on it's a challenge. Best to pull over at some point and refresh. Salt stings.

I am going to try and sell my HJC black helmet on CL now after this thread. Made me notice white helmets stick out like a sore thumb out there.

I did! I did! In 90-103 temps in Florida. Very sweaty drippy salty times and Yes it burns!
I learned a lesson the hard way. One must Drink water prior to, during and after a ride. Those were ridiculous high temps! Else you'll face some miserable consequences as I did.

Take Note: A 16.9 bottle of water fits very cozy in our "glove bins." Underseat much more. Topbox? Holds even more. Bottle holders available too > No excuses. Drink up!

Maybe think about something like this also. The vest pocket on mine is so huge that I can actually carry envelopes in it when I need to mail stuff at the Post Office box. It was designed I guess to fold up the whole vest and stow in a top box or panniers. A bit pricey but great quality and well worth it. It's the next best thing to a Hi-Viz Helmet.

I like it. I can't make out the brand name. Where did you get it?

It's an "Olympia Moto Sports" brand. I bought it online from Bike Bandit.

Great quality. Holds up well and is adjustable. Comes in various sizes and a choice of the Yellow or Orange. I think the Yellow is more visible plus there are reflective surfaces.

Here'a a link to their web page. They have a video describing the product as well. . .just click to watch.

I've even used it when I volunteer to help at charity fundraisers.

Nice vest!

Thanks WN!

Nice job with the graphics editing on your pics. Good idea with the water bottle storage too. . .I never thought of that.

And thank you for noticing, but wait...
did ya also notice that motorcycle without a rider? Weird. I remember sitting and saying..."Am I That Invisible too?"
Nah, it's the heat. I was seeing things (or Not)

(Ok, it's late - g'night)
