Default Helmet Question

So i was looking at Dual Sport helmets to use with the quad I'm getting. Now the reason i like the Dual Sport helmet is because of the view you have without goggles. When using goggles how restrictive is your view? I think if you have great view your less likely to crash. If anyone knows the difference let me know. Is the view different in the Dual Sport helmet?

Yep, do not even have to take it off for a drink or smoke break.

I have the CL Max 2. I use it for late fall/winter riding when I need protection from the cold. It's nice to just flip up the chin bar for a beverage or just to talk without fogging up the visor. You can ride with the chin bar down and the visor up, both down, or both up, although that's not recommended. You can also get a heated visor for it to keep fogging down. In winter I usually ride with it open a crack to keep the fogging of my glasses down. Great all around helmet. I got a good deal on eBay.

HJC is a good brand, some of the cheap china ones will have the stuffing falling out in a month.

Get a Motorcycle version , not a snowmobile version, or you will boil your brain in the summer.

Which might explain why I only wear mine in the cold weather. Must have inadvertently got the snowmobile version.
