Default Akoury DOT Rating

Just for the record, all Akoury helmets are DOT FMVSS No. 218 Certified.
We have sold thousands of these helmets and they are NOT just novelty helmets with a sticker on them. The quality and finish of the Akoury helmet is far superior to any other copy-cat helmet out there. We have had at least a dozen customers tell us that the helmet probably saved their life.
You can get more information about these helmets at http://www.blackbeardsgear.com/akoury-helmets


The DOT rating is laminated to the helmet and not just a sticker. The helmet also has a certification label inside the liner, which by the way, is the most comfortable liner of any small DOT helmet.

The Bell "500" helmet I bought last year has a DOT "sticker" over the gel coat. I had no idea that Bell made "novelty" helmets.

I have an HCI beanie that is DOT, and it's probably cheaper. Just a heads up for anyone looking.

You can find them all over ebay FOR UNDER 40 DOLLARS.

I went from an Outlaw Beanie (the one that was recalled for being too small and not DOT), to an Akoury this past fall.
I figured I would be gaining the mushroom look and some weight, but I didn't. it was actually lighter and a bit smaller. Lovin the Akoury!

Still young at 35, just not the partygoer anymore. Would rather ride my damn motorcycle checking out beautiful scenery. Rather than sitting around drunk/high out of my mind.

Always liked the look of the Akoury. I was doing just fine and then made the mistake of looking at the web site -Carbon Fiber, damit. Well, didn't need that Christmas money anyways.
