Anyone on here have one? I do, and I'm looking for a chin curtain for it. Sparx, however, does not make one, and the only one I've read so far that works is from a discontinued Nolan, and therefore hard to find. I know it's a long shot, but if anyone has one on here, have you installed any other chin curtains on it?
Or, if any of you have chin curtains on your helmets, could you take some measurements for me? So I can find one that fits?
Thanks! :bowdown:
I have a Sparx helmet, I couldn't find a chin curtain either. I've been using a neck gaiter... like something you could find in ski shop...

It works fine in cool weather, but be careful with fogging up. It's a cheap helmet with no bells and whistles, just very basic. But it's fine for kickin' around city.

Yeah, I was afraid I'd end up having to get one of those. I'd prefer the clean cut look of a curtain. I've been wearing a thin balaclava, but still need some extra cover.
I love the helmet, fits great, light weight and very comfortable. My only real complaints are no chin curtain, and my clear visor fogs BAD on cold nights, even with the visor vents open.
Motorcycle-superstore has a couple of different chin curtains on sale for less than $5. I think I'm just going to order both of them and see if I can make one work.
I like to ride with one of these. Much thinner than the gaitor so you barely notice it's on when you ride, but it keeps your neck warm in the cold, you can pull the front down under your chin, just over your chin, or up over your mouth depending on how cold you get.

I bought one of these, but haven't gotten to try it yet. I'm hoping it'll quiet things down for highway rides. That noise tends to drive me nuts...

Also, even if it's not for your helmet, you can usually get something like this and just jam it up into your helmet. I used to use an HJC chin curtain in my Arai, they all fit pretty much the same way.

chin curtain is a little mesh piece on your helmet where you chin goes right? if so I have one, it's a GMAX helmet tho. If you want it mesh, Go out, buy a 5 dollar mesh backpack and use the mesh from that, cut it big. Trim the edges off later. Simple as that! :D
The wind stopper looks like it could be the ticket. Now if only the Sparx helmet were less of a fogger. I was looking at the Shoei Neotec online. It seems to have added that extra barrier at the bottom for wind, and a pinlock visor for anti fogging. Sigh-maybe I'll save my pennies for one later on.
Check out Cyclegear.com I saw some universal ones there in December for under $5
