does anyone have a modular helmet they feel is strong enough to survive serious accident? I like the safety of the full face helmets, but I have yet to find one that is reasonably easy to get glasses on with it on or that ventilates really well. Our Gulf Shores summer are really hot and humid.
Open to ideas
Thanks always.

Yes I more or less said that. but getting glasses on with the full face helmets I have tried is a bitch. In fact, I even when up a size or two and still struggled so much my guess is that a lot of the time, it would stay in the trunk. Which is a lot less safe than even an open face. Besides, it you ever rode in our muggy summers you would know why an awfull lot of our guys are riding with modular's. So I am trying to find out if anyone has discovered a particularly well done (strong) modular lock system I also have been told the newer European certification seems to be a higher standard than even the snell certification. anyone know anything about that?

I have a HJC Symax II modular that's one of my favorite helmets. It works great, has decent ventilation, and it's easy for putting your glasses on. I went to Motorcycle-Superstore.com and saw they no longer offer it because they have the Symax III now. It's more expensive than the one I bought but I'm sure it's worth it. I also ride in hot muggy weather here in 'Bama and it's about as good for that as you can hope for. Click on the pic of the Symax III below for a link to the store's page with that helmet.

Oddly enough Motorcycle-Superstore.com just sent me an e-mail with some close outs on Bell helmets. Here's a nice looking modular helmet for $100.00, it's 1/2 off!

Bell is a good helmet. It is some times hard to get a good fit first time around by mail though. I got a deal on ebay on an old stock shoe some years ago that fit perfect. Just be sure of your measurement when you order. For the summer I do like the 3/4 helmets.. john
