Oh dear, what will we get next

Plus I don't think they look that special... sort of short and dumpy.

Nice..But i dont really like half faced helmats. Plus they cant pretect your face much

I might buy one to hold my fruit in!

LOL!

Speaking of helmats, yesterday at the co-op i lost my keys for agesss, and they were in my helmat the whole time I was late because of this idiotic forgetfulness

I'm pretty sure i've seen an american helicopter pilot wearing the green one in some vietnam war movie or other...

I like the way they look... and it does say "produced in association with AGV"... which is what they reminded me of.

Nice looking lid. Like the olive green colour.
I've have a AGV blade for the summer and it uses the ratchet chin strap design which works brilliantly. Easy and sturdy.

Looks like master chief from Halo

Hey, we're all posers in one way or another. I'm not a diesel fan (nor the inflated price) but theres something for everybody.

I'll stick with my Fulmer flip-up full face.

While I see benefits of a 3/4 helmet, the fascination about such cut-off visors escapes me. I've been hit by enough bugs that either hurt like a sting or splattered all over my face, into my nose and squirted underneath my sunglasses, into my eye, that I want my nose and mouth COVERED.

Of course you could always wear one of those skeleton handkerchiefs over your nose and mouth, and strain the bugs before you swallow them.

Just kidding, I know what you mean. I wear a full face, and twice have rode through a swarm of bees. At that moment I wondered how I would have fared if I had been wearing a half shell or a 3/4 helmet?

definitely! was thinking to buy one.. I am actually in the shop now looking it at. lol hmmmmm,.

Like the colour of the green one but that's about it

Went over to Dainese yesterday in Newport Beach and we picked up one of these Diesel helmets. My gf drives a 2011 LXV in portfofino green and the brown looks perfect for this ride. White looked good too but the inside is also white and would get sweat stained driving in the summer.

Review: The helmet is not boxey or alian like but sleek and yes dare I say "trendy." It is made by AGV but licensed by Diesel. I know you are paying for the trendy name but it does look cool on the Vespa! Price was $240 but on sale for $200. We compared against the Vespa / Piaggio brand helmets and we liked this one a little better.

I got the AGV Dragon helmet for only $40 bucks (matte black) to match my 2011 150S. There was a clearance section and found this gem for $100 off because the box was scratched (helmet is in perfect condition).

Dainese is not a scooter store but they have a great selection of riding gear and a very knowledgable staff. And they have a Vespa in their window.

Very good. People made fun of them but i was waiting in a Diesel store while a friend tried on some clothes and found them. They seemed to be made quite well and did have that retro look. Enjoy your new helmet. They were pricey and you got a great deal. 8)

Thanks! She loves it.

Me Likey !

if the pads come out thats a plus. my AGV pads are glued in and I can't install my Chatterbox head set so I won't use it. Same goes for the Piaggio helmets.

I have bought the bronze one and it's really great for city riding. On the highway I prefer a full face helmet, but for everyday hopping around the town, these helmets are way too cool

And yes, I do not care about a little bit of posing, since I already bought a Vespa...

One of my coworkers got one for his motorcycle city riding. I tried it on, I felt and looked like a space cadet...

...which is a good thing, I guess?

As for myself, the first time I put it on I felt like I'm ready to blow the Death Star, anytime

Guys i bought the green one last week, it matches with the colour of my LXV and found it quite comfortable!

I am thinking of changing the glass on the helmet and put the yellow one!!

I have bought the dark visor. Works fine on a sunny day and looks really good, however it makes evening and night riding impossible.

Thas why i didnt bought the balck one.
I will test the yellow visor and let you know!!

How much did you get your helmet and how much are the additional visor?
