    • @panindiabiker8511
      @panindiabiker8511 6 років тому

      THH Helmets pads wear out leading to loose fitment and most importantly the outer shell is made of thermoplastics which aren't good during crash when compared to other material such as polycarbonate or fibreglass

    awesome info sir..I have a question sir. actually I am a normal daily commuter. so it becomes difficult to drive when sunlight directly falls on my transparent visor. So, should I get it changed to a silver reflecting visor or should I get a inner visor(goggles) ?? also , can i install inner visors in any of the helmet?
    please reply sir.
    I am facing a lot of problems due to the heat, and no one on UA-cam talks about these things except you.
