New Helmet

[NativeOne]

I just got this helmet today and I love it, it is lightweight, very comfortable and I also bought the dark smoke shield in addition to the clear that comes with the helmet. It is a little pricey, but after all it is your head we are talking about. The helmet is carbon fiber!

Interesting looking full face.

I'd be interested in hearing your opinions about it after a few months of use.

I like that A LOT 8)

Cool - which probably means they will be twice the price over here - I'll have to look.

Looks really good 8)

An old Bell ad would say,

"If you've got a $10 head, buy at $10 helmet."

You do realize Christmas is coming up, right? So a few packages marked as a gift should not stir the interest of the tax man too much. So if someone on your side of the pond should desire something as this, a person on my side of the pond could order it and then ship it over, with said person from your side paying for it and all related shipping costs. Just a thought, although I would never do something so illegal. :wink:

About the same price as my Shoei with less weight. When my current lid expires I'll look into one of these. Thanks for the post.

That's a really kind offer CadDad, but with helmets I think its important to try before you buy, to make sure you get the right size, and that your head shape fits the helmet. If I can find anywhere that stocks them around here, I'd go & try one for sure.

Preacher & Fleece - thanks for the info.

So who is the original maker - HJC or Joe Rocket?

The HJC's seem to be around the £250 mark over here. (About $425)

OWL I will be in Stourbridge/Dudley area next month. I'd gladly act as a courier. How far away are you from there? If you are too far, I could post it to you when I land.

I've picked that helmet up in the shop and it feels like a feather next to my Gmax. Good looking effect with the light playing of the fiber, great helmet!
