Anyone ever heard of Fulmer Helmets???

Are they any good??

The rep keeps trying to sell them to me at my shop just wondering what people thought of them???

 

Fulmer is actually an old name that is trying to come back. They are a good helmet but with no name recognition from the public they are a hard sell. We brought them in where I work and gave up after 6 months because of the lack of sales.

 

I have a fulmer helmet, functionally its fine, but once you put a better helmet on you immediately notice the difference, especially outside noises like wind noise. My Fulmer will give you a headache if you let it get to you.

 

the make wack designs from what i have seen.

half face helmets are funny as hell. lol

 

i have one as a spare,its ok but my KBC feels much better...

 

Thanks for the help man. The rep keeps telling me to give him six months and ill tripple my profit margin

 

The Fulmer Rep Is Not Lying.i Actually Manage A Parts Dept Here In Nc.i've Been Selling Fulmers For Years And Can Honestly Say That There Is Not Another Helmet With That Much Profit Margin.my Advise Is Give Them A Try.

 

Even with the big margin, if I dont sell any...

The other thing Im worried about is I think a lot of my customers might think they're too cheap. Lots of them have the "you get what you pay for " mind set

 

My dad has a fulmer from like 1982. I've used it a couple times but didn't like it, too much wind noise and vents are permenently open, but hey, it's 20 years old.
Anyways for some reason he really likes it and is in need of a new screen, is there any chance that you guys dealing fulmers could get one? It's from the early 80's, full face. I just need a new visor for the thing. PM me if you have any leads. Thanks

 

i personally dont like my af400 fulmer. I wear a medium and even the small is to big. CRAPPY FITMENT SIZES!!

 

Had a fulmer (af400), wrecked in it @ about 45-50 on the fwy.

melon is still perfect! But it was a poor fitting helmet and the vents did suck. Its a very good deal for a newbie low on cash ~$100

 

umm..aren't helmets supposed to be completly useless after 4-5 years?

 

my bro had a fulmer helmet and went down at highway speeds on a corner, hit a guardrail, hes still good

 

I've got two and both fit good but I have never had anything else. they are cheap and have a wide variety of colors..

 

Ya. pretty much, but it's better than not wearing one at all. I'm just wondering because he for some reason really likes the lid but the shield is all scratched up, a new shield would make a nice Christmas gift for him.
But I do know that he should really get a new helmet if he decides to get himself a bike and stop stealing mine.

 

Realizing that something that bombed for me could sell well in another area of the country, I would try this: Tell your rep you will take on his line if and only if he agrees that after say 6 months if you are not happy with the sales he will take the unsold product back with no restocking charge. Your side of the deal would be to keep all the boxes, bags etc to make them resellable. If he knows it sells well there is a very good chance he will do it and there is no riisk to you. If he wont do it I would think twice about taking it on.

 

before you know it, time will go by so fast that your gonna have to under sell those helmets just to get rid of them

Then again...it all depends on who is walking into your shop

 

Yeah I haven't taken them on yet. The other reason I dont feel like dealing with it. I already have too many brands of helmets.

Thanks for the feedback...

 

I bought an af400 a couple years ago for $90. Looks good, fits good, and has nicely survived a couple bad crashes.
