Is this a real ECE 22.06 verification?

Just got a Honda Navi and looking for a decent helmet that won't break the bank I bought a helmet off Walmart for $55 that's only dot approved
Looking for something a lil better then this one
Was looking at these two I believe I will need a sz XL
LS2 Rapid II - I've heard good things
LS2 Stream Evo Loop - nor $150 on sale for $70
LS2 Challenger GT Cannon - Nor $300 on sale for $120
Just looking for the best helmet possible if I can spend under $150-$200 that would be awesome
Let me know what you think about those 3
I'm on a Navi so dot approved is prob good enough but I'd like Dot and ECE or Dot and Snell if possible
Any info would be awesome or any other helmets $200 and lower

I recently got back into riding after being in an accident a long while back. Im now living in Phoenix and its basically like living in an oven.
I dont ride during the days but even hopping on at 10pm i still sweat like crazy and feel like im going to pass out whenever i have anything with long sleeves on.
Are there any recommendations or certain brand i should check out, or even other gimicky type things that can help keep me cool when im riding?

Looking for something light in neutral color, ideally grey or white for the super hot day. It needs to be totally clean looking(see images attached) with ability to upgrade to L2 armour. What say you?

Just wondering what everyone’s routine is. Wiping off a jacket may be fine if I wasn’t in Texas, and even just sitting on the bike requires a modicum of sweat. How do yall clean your gear that you’re not supposed to wash?

I would like something that will allow me to listen to music while riding, but without blocking out important sounds, such as the engine or other traffic noises.
But, I also like the idea of having control of my phone / music on phone, and communication with other riders.

I just received my new Bison track suit, and I have to say the fit and quality feel top notch 👌🏻
I decided on kangaroo leather with the integrated Helite airbag.
My question for those with experience with these suits, are you leaving the integrated back protector in for track days or should I be removing this for a full hard shell (like I used to use in my old suit)?
I’m torn, the integrated one has less coverage than those backpack style back protectors and feels softer. Perhaps this is by design since there will now be an airbag…

About to do daily commutinf o work on a bmw f900r with all kinds of weather: storms, rain, snow, you name it.
I really like the clean look of the revit echelon, but i cant seem to find really independent reviews, the one I did find said the waterproofing is lacking..
On the other hand is the poseidon 3 gtx which should be very durable and extremely good at keeping the water out.
In short, I think the poseidon would be the better choice for durability and waterproofing, but maybe looks a bit to "adventure" on my bmw f900r...
Anyone with experience with either of the two or which one would you choose?

Been searching for these jerseys to get my wife. I know they are sold out and hard to find. Does anyone know a good spot for resale of motorcycle gear.

Before I order the custom leathers, I'm looking for some opinions.

Top is the Wiley X and bottom is my current glasses from Dita. It made a huge difference and I dont hate myself every time I have to put on my helmet before going out and they slide in like butter, also with it being Z87+ is a good thing after hearing back from a friend that got his frame shattered into his eyeball. highly recommended!

I got these DIRT 4 10 months ago and used them enough but not too much. Is this wear normal?
r/motorcyclegear • u/UsualTough4952 • 13h ago
Iv owned three different pairs.
First pair was before they moved to the d30 knuckles.. I wear a large and the large are super tight..and never really wore them .
2nd pair was the smx bones. These things lasted 2 seasons, so 7 months of riding and they completely disintegrated.
3rd pair was the heavy hitter bones l and they are currently falling apart after two years as well..
Fingers popping out of the perforations and the palm is falling apart.
I like the fit and look for the most part. But at $135+ shipping and taxes, Seems like they should last longer.
Currently looking for new gloves.

Bonjour,
j'aurais besoin de quelques conseils concernant l'équipement de protection.
J'ai l'intention de faire de la piste, donc je vais me procurer l'équipement adéqua.
Par contre, pour la route, je comptais me prendre une veste type bowtex à porter sous un pull ou un vêtement classique toute l'année (ville, montagne, auto-route etc).
À la base, je pensais partir sur une Knox Urbane Pro MK3, notamment parce qu'elle est annoncée CE AA, avec protections niveau 2 aux épaules, coudes et dos pour 310€ neuf taille M.
Le problème, c'est qu'en me renseignant davantage avant achat, je suis tombé sur pas mal de retours récents assez négatifs : confort/ventilation etc et surtout des témoignages de chutes où la résistance à l'abrasion semble avoir été moins bonne que ce que la certification annonce avec en plus des résultats de test MotoCAP bien catastrophiques.
Du coup je suis un peu perdu sur ce qui serait réellement le meilleur choix.
Mon cahier des charges serait idéalement :
- protection contre l'abrasion fiable pour sportive sur route AA ou AAA,
- protections épaules + coudes + dorsale suffisante,
- portable sous un sweat ou équivalent,
- bonne ventilation pour rouler toute l'année,
- et dans l'idéal sans dépasser 300€ ?
J'ai pu regarder du côté de Bowtex, Knox, Pando Moto, Rev'It, Dainese, etc., mais j'ai du mal à savoir quelles solutions valent réellement le coup et lesquelles sont vraiment intéressantes pour le prix.
Si certains d'entre vous ont de l'expérience avec ces équipements, ou ont testé/crash-testé ce type de protection, je serais vraiment intéressé par vos retours et vos recommandations.
Merci infiniement !

I got an ad for it on sale and of course spend first ask questions later hit and now I’m having second thoughts as I can’t find much of anything on it. I already started the refund process as I wanted to look for something different anyway, but somehow they magically started shipping it two minutes before their second confirmation email about the refund. If it’s decent I may just take it as a lesson to have something better than my riding jeans and jacket as they’re both just thick denim. But if it won’t do much better than that I’d rather return them and put it towards good gear.

So i just got mine in the mail, and i have a XL Voss 993 Moto S. I got a ride planned later this day; Would i be able to install it for now with the metal clamp since the adhesive says it takes 24 hours?? I got a Packtalk Pro if that makes any difference.

Could be a bit of a silly question, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I’m curious how people store their helmets at work when they don’t have a locker.
I want to keep mine safe from falls, kicks, or just being knocked around in general. Since a helmet is there to protect your head, I’d rather not leave it somewhere it could get damaged.
Any advice and personal experience would be appreciated.

Started riding in March 2025 and bought an AGV K1S for INR 28,000 ($270, we have to pay import duty so it's much more expensive here) from a reputed importer in India. Loved the helmet and toured with it.
A year later, while getting an intercom fitted for a trip, the store staff removed the liner and I found cracks in the EPS.
I've never crashed or dropped the helmet, so this was pretty shocking. The concerning bit for me is that there is no way for me to know when did this damage happen, I wore it on a couple of tours and I'm just glad there was no incident to be relying on a helmet with a broken EPS.
Contacted AGV customer care and, after 2–3 weeks of correspondence, they refused to take responsibility.
No idea whether this was a manufacturing defect or the EPS deteriorating on its own, but I'm pretty disappointed.
I was actually considering upgrading to a K7 because I was so happy with my helmet, but I'll be avoiding AGV going forward.
