And here's the Nexx ....
Anyone got either a Premier Trophy or Nexx XG100 helmet?
Hi all
Wanting to get a retro full face helmet (to suit my £200 budget!), and narrowed it down to the above.
Have any forum members got these and if so, what are your opinions etc please?
I'm more in favour of the Premier but not sure on the 'square' chin bar.....
Don't want a Biltwell as they're only DOT rated.....but I did rather like the ****** S!
I've no local stockists so can't just pop into a dealer hence any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks all

Hey Guy,
My Girlfriend has the Premier Trophy in yellow and I really liked the green/gold or black checkered version. Square chin bar is also really cool!
No denying it is a stylish helmet. I honestly thought I would use her helmet for the occasional weekend ride but a couple of observations have prevented me bothering (also its a yellow helmet on green bike
).
1. Sunglasses/glasses dont fit or at least its uncomfortable and a serious pain to take them on/off.
2. The helmet is noisy and the visor will let the wind and bits of rain in.
3. The visor poppers are tricky to use and deafening when the pop on (to the point id rather click them down then put helmet on).
4. Visor steams very quickly, (see point 3).
For pillion and style my GF loves it, as a practical daily helmet for a commuting rider or any serious distance with all that xsr700 wind noise I wouldn't bother and best kept as a second helmet.
All that said, no denying it is seriously retro in style and function. The interior is really classy, the helmet is 4 star sharp rated and it looks great. but be warned it comes with compromises.
No doubt as will all the retro helmets. Urban Rider sell them and have free returns. Id say go for it and return the least preferred.
Hope this helps.

Ok - got it narrowed down to the Nexx Rocker and Devon. Both are 'proper' retro and I can get either cheaper than the solid colours......
I can't decide though! So - which do you reckon? I'm off to the dealer on Thursday so I'll probably end up changing my mind at the last minute!
This is the Rocker.....
