Full-face motorcycle helmets offer the most protection, but they're annoying and cumbersome: The visors often fog up, and you have to yank the whole thing off to talk. The awesome-looking N102 addresses those flaws without sacrificing sturdiness. It has a chin guard that flips up with an easy, one-hand release, a sunshade that flips down, and the all-important antifog shield. Still not satisfied? Upgrade with an N-Com communication system (starting at $315), featuring built-in headphones, noise-cancelling mic, and multimedia controls able to patch into your MP3 player, sat-nav, or radio. And with Bluetooth for your cell phone, this system is just itching to interface. Buy two N-Coms and you can chat up a passenger or riding buddy via intercom.
