New helmet and sunglasses
Postby spirro » Wed Sep 11, 2013 11:19 am
I'm in the market for a new helmet and glasses. I'm eyeing off the Limar 777 helmet as it seems to have some pretty good reviews. Torpedo7 has it for $79.95, but there is the Limar 909 for $10 more. Not sure which is the better one to go for.

Also looking at some photochromic sunglasses. These two are looking good.

I'm trying to keep cost on both items to a minimum.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Whether they are any good or should I be looking at something else?
Thanks

I just love my 777, you don't even feel like you've got it on. (sounds like a promo for something else )
The only thing I found was that the plastic 'hinge' in the strap is weak. Mine came apart but I just used a small black zip tie to join the 2 pieces back together and it's back in action.
Will I get another when it finally dies... despite the break, yes.

Everyone is different though, it might just be my head! I'd see if you can try one on somewhere first, which may but be possible.

I can't say as much for the Route7 sunnies though...cheap and nasty, imo. Better to spend a little extra and get something decent.

Is the Limar OF8 a better buy?

If you are buying glasses from T7 I would be looking at something in the Adidas range.

For sunnies I've been very impressed with the Northwave's I picked up from c r c or Wiggle (can't remember which). Very good sunnies at a very good price.
