Default 3/4 Helmets

Anyone have opinions on the following helmets:

Lick's NovDOT $89.99
Daytona $65.95
Bitwell $99

Obviously looking for lowest profile and lightest weight. Also, looks are important. Anyone have experience with these? They all claim to be the lightest, thinnest etc.

I can tell you that I wear a Bell 500 and love it. It ensures a non *****-head appearance as well.

haha. yeah that is definitely a concern.

I forgot to mention the bell 500. same price range. appears thicker in photos but that could be an illusion.

someone needs to do a side by side photo comparison of these helmets similar to what bitwell did at the above link but more complete.

the Bell is rather bubble headed looking... I have a Biltwell nov 3/4 that I absolutely love..very comfortable helmet. The solid colors are $79 and then their MegaFlake helmets are $99.

I'll tell you my opinion, if you've got a cheap head buy a cheap f**king helmet, mine cost me £225 which is around 330 bucks in your money.

Lick's NovDot is f-ing great. Light weight, low pro, DOT. No bobblehead.

costs were provided for comparison's sake and no one said the helmet had to be cheap. your comment is worthless without mentioning what helmet you have and only providing how much you paid for it. more expensive does not automatically mean better. but i don't need to tell that to a bunch of harley owners.
