Zeus 508s/ws Modular Helmet


I have one and I like it. It's a great price for a modular and I have the electric shield as well. Wouldn't go out without it.
 
had a ws- didn't like it. got a lot of forehead wind and desinigrated when i tagged a tree but i guess they're supposed to
 
For awhile Canton Scooters had those real cheap with electric shield. I have to call them today. I will see if they still have some.
 
Thanks. JR Graham has them pretty cheap too. I'm not looking for another helmet, but I'd like to give a modular a try. I can't even remember the brand I've got now, but I had to experiment with a couple of breath shields to even get it to not fog all of the time. I even bought a fog evader from RU-outside. It worked but I didn't like the feel of it and it would freeze up on me and then stick to my face. You couldn't talk with it on either.
 
if you want a modular you might want to try a agv. it's got a breath deflecter that cups your nose and mouth, that's what i went to and the quality seems much better than a ws. i have had no fogging even without a electric shield in -0 f, i get no drafts on the forehead or neck area, and i only paid like 150 -160 for the helmet. overall i'm really happy with this helmet. i believe yamaha uses these as their "yamaha" helmet, ut i wouldn't buy them from a dealer- find a after market store.

Any other complaints? Mainly the breath deflector.... Fit and finish was ok??
 
didn't use the breath def. 'cause i don't like how they affix to the helmet (velcro). fit was good and no complaint on finish. just like i said the helmet was drafty. i only rode with it for a couple days before i exploded it. overall a descent helmet for the price(think i paid 120)
 
I tried on an HJC Symax last night. I would have to get an xl in that one. Otherwise, I'm a L. I wear a 7 1/4 hat. According to Zeus the L would fit. I didn't like how the hjc deflector attached with the snaps that would be terrible to do. I couldn't even do it in the warm showroom with no gloves and help of the salesman.
 
I have been using the Zeus for two years now and really like the fit, form, and function of it. I wear a 7 3/8 hat and have a large. No electric shield or breath deflector, and have had minor fogging. The fogging can be fixed by cracking the shield about 1/8", or you can spring for the electric. Best modular for the money. Just make sure you have a good neck warmer.
 
Someone else mentioned AGV. I've got a Blizzard and it gets an "A+" from me. The breath deflector works great and is very comfortable.

I got a killer deal... it was around $175.00 and they included a free electric shield. That was two seasons ago, though. Since then I've seen them in the catalogs for $199.00
 
I stopped by Canton Scooters last night. Good deal there. $140 for electric shield. He had to order the color and size in but that's ok. I went with black. I don't know if I should change it now though.... That's for the new style too. The release is kinda like the hjc's right at the tip of your chin. Pretty easy.
