One thing that’s a bit more style over function (but then, that’s why you’re thinking of buying a Ghost Bandit, right?!?) was that the original Ghost Bandit didn’t have an opening tab on the face shield. Instead, there was a small indent in the chin bar to allow just enough space to get the end of your glove in to open the shield.

The face mask is interchangeable and the Ghost Recon version of the helmet comes with an insanely good looking skull mouth graphics face mask out of the box. The main purpose of the face mask is weather and dust protection, so don’t expect it to protect your head in a case of a severe accident. The comfort level of the Bell Rogue helmet is pretty good, but as with all other non-premium cruiser helmets, don’t expect it to be very comfortable for long rides. The Bell Bullitt Carbon RSD is a great option for those who have enough money to afford it. Yes, it may seem overpriced, but you will get many practical features with this helmet that you won’t simply find in most other helmets of this type. In fact, it is one of the best carbon fiber motorcycle helmets on the market. The Simpson Ghost Bandit is designed with most head shapes in mind – that’s medium oval heads that are slightly longer than they are wide. If that’s you, then you should be good with a Ghost Bandit.What can I say? Price is a big factor for many of us. You should never spend more money than you can afford, even for the coolest-looking helmet out there.

The helmet is constructed from lightweight polycarbonate/ABS and it provides an extreme protection to the rider. It is best suited for MX competitions or any kind of off-road riding. The O’Neal 5 Series helmet also has an excellent ventilation system thanks to the large air vent on the chin bar and a couple of additional intake vents on the top of the shell. The interior liner used inside the helmet is called “Ultra-push” and it is fully removable and washable. There’s also a stars and stripes Ghost Bandit Glory helmet, maybe to suit your Captain America style Panhead? Which also means that while the US Ghost Bandit is both ECE and DOT certified (so it’s legal in Europe as well as the US), the Venom is only ECE.Aerodynamic stability, Excellent airflow, Very comfortable, Original shield design, Wide range of graphics

There’s a massive range of opinions out there on how noisy the Venom is – with about as many saying it’s loud as there are saying how quiet it is!

The air outlets which are integrated in the rear spoiler discharge the warm air and moisture.

Top view of the gloss white Venom – those ridges are great for aero (see below) I've been using this helmet almost every day since I got it in January of this year in all weather conditions. Keep in mind, that sometimes you can have a period of your life when you prefer some specific color or style, but in the future, you will change your mind. That’s why it’s always better to plan ahead and choose a color or graphics that you will like not just in the present moment, but in the future as well. What Is Your Budget?
