AGV XR-2

anybody know a helmet w/ tear offs for a cheaper price?

EDIT: fixed the link. i also read it's called a tear off. i can't believe i missed that the 1st time i read it.

Didn't you just buy a new helmet?

I've never tried on an AGV but if I went with one I'd go with the Ti-Tech (if I could afford it). But once you get up into that price range I'd rather have an Arai or Suomy personally.

Haha, tear-offs.

That is utterly ridiculous.

I wear a helmet, but quite frankly my head just isn't worth much.

I can see where it would be handy, if you were say..driving through a skeeter infested swamp and hit like the marlon brando of skeeters.

i'll assume you're serious...

tear offs are those extra plastic things you put on front of your visor so that when it's gets dirty... you just tear it off, throw it and put another tear off... way faster than cleaning the visor.

what do it need it for? uhm, errr.... im too lazy to clean my visor?

Laminated plastic shield. You can pull off one layer at a time. Racers use them. As their shields get dirty, they peel a layer off and voila! a fresh clean shield.

The laminated parts are replaceable. Some are affiexed to shields using 2 pins on either side of the shield.

Dirt bikers use em a lot. Go through a puddle, just peel a new layer. You don't even have to stop.
