Default what i have learned about helmets

I have learned that my KBC TK-77 is a peice of ****! Well I had been complaining about the noise from this helmet before, but this just adds to it. About a few weeks ago I noticed that the left side of my face sheild had come lose from inside where it mounts. Well I stayed in fine so I had not found a replacement yet. Then the other morning I turned to check my blindspot to change lanes and woosh. Its gone. snapped it clean off. No little peices let inside the mounts nothing. So I am replace this troublesome helmet with the Bell Sprint. I am told it replaced teh Bell LS-X which I know I like. It was comfy, good fit, quite, and great feild of view, but they do not make them anymore. I am hoping to have my new helmet in by the end of the week.

My personal advice. Do not buy a KBC TK-77, or any helmet that the visor does not mount itself. If it has plastic covers over the face shield mount it will be very noisy.
