Re: Is this helmet worth anything?????????
I def don't think that it will save your life but If you don't care then its a DEAL. Personally I will only use ARAI and off ebay B-new for 250 to 300....This is not a place to skimp on so buy for the reason of saving your life not money...

Also Burl MA or VT.

That helmet isnt worth the cardboard box it comes in to me I personally would never use a helmet with an ABS plastic shell! Ever see what happens to ABS plastic fairings when you crash? crack crack crack! Now imagine that plastic being the only protection you have between your head and the road....

Yes they all get small cracks in then shell, on a high quality helmet like Arai with a fiber shell you cant see those cracks unless you Xray the helmet. Im sayin that a POS plastic shell will crack in half and youll be bouncing your bare head on the ground....Wear what you will but that thing aint worth **** to me........

Plastic shells crack open and split into pieces, compsite shells may crack but they still stay in one piece...

Re: Is this helmet worth anything?????????
Why would you buy a lid without trying it on first? Its all about good fit. Go to your local shop and try on every lid you can, ask the sales person for help, every company has a price point lid check them out first before commiting to getting some piece of crap from e-bay.


Remember, its all about FIT,FIT,FIT.
