Any recommendations regarding half shell helmets?
We currently have full face modular helmets from when I had a motorbike.
But now I am getting a Stella 4T, they just don't match.

I like my HJC IS-2. It was relatively inexpensive, extremely comfortable and good airflow. The added bonus is the flipdown visor.

Fullface goes perfectly well with scooters though. It's all down to how much gear vs safety you want to ride with.

Personally I love my German WWII matte black helmet.

I got some Bobster 2 Bugeye Goggles as well so I look like a total geek, but I think it's awesome!

I wear an HCI 3/4 with flip down shield on my Stella, I think it goes perfectly.



This is another HCI that I considered.

NOT very rational reasoning . . example.

Riding on two wheels means you take inherent risks just being in traffic. Obviously the OP already has a full face helmet but that doesn't mean they shouldn't get a half helmet.

My advice is to never be the first vehicle out in the intersection on a green. There is always some asshat trying to rush the yellow/red. It hurts no matter what helmet you are wearing.

Regarding helmets, my favorite lately is the Nolan Trilogy (N43). It is a 3/4 helmet with a chin bar. Cooler for summer, but just about as much protection as a FF.

I like the outlaw low profile helmets on ebay they dont give you the mushroom head look

Plenty of people wear FF helmets on Stellas; what it looks like would be pretty low on my list of things to consider.

I tried a half-helmet for a little while, but didn't like it (so I don't have one I can recommend). I find a 3/4 more comfortable, since it doesn't put as much pressure on the chin strap to hold it on my head.

I so want one of those. It's the only non-full face I would consider other than maybe a modular.

I really feel my age when I see 3/4 helmets with brims referred to as 'retro.'
