I have the multitec and am pretty happy with it. I have always had multi-color graphic full face helmets before and would wear them on whatever type of bike that I climbed on. Don't worry what it looks like and go for comfy.

Anyone has a problem with what I look like, it is their problem. End of.
Good find on that helmet though, looks like something I have been looking for.
How old is your helmet Dragon and where is it hurting?
Forehead and cheakbones?
Not sure how much help
this will be as it only covers helmets on sale in the UK, but it's the sharp ratings.

I can't find the link but I remember reading an article on one of the online MC mags about helmet/jacket colour and visibility. The writer wrote that studies have shown that a solid bright colour is the most noticeable. He recommended a solid white or yellow helmet (his was orange) rather than a patterned helmet which sort of blends in with the background.

It's a bit over a year old now. It hurts mainly on the top of my head, but sometimes a bit in the back and a bit in the jaw.
Thanks for the link. I did check out the helmet sticky here before I bought it, but maybe my head is just shaped weird or I need to try it on at the store for a longer time frame.

I'd agree you need one with a different fit.

Actually solid colors are the most visible, if you're interested in safety.
