Default New Helmet!!!

I just picked up one of these yesterday and love it!!!

http://www.bikerhelmets.com/


And what they say is true...no mushroom head and it is so light you don't know it's on...plus I love the quick connect it comes with.
If you are looking for a new helmet and wear a half helmet check it out!!

This ones better than most I've seen but the thing about half helmets that I can't have, there's no face shield and the wind noise is horrible, even with earplugs. I tried one once and that was enough.

Plus it's labeled as a "Biker Helmet" so no worries of being called a poser...

JK, looks like a decent brain bucket.

Since when is "inspired by SOA" a selling point?

I was almost ready to take a chance on the Matte Black Beanie till I saw that......

LOL

If that is what you want, glad you got it. I go the other direction with my helmet and wear the full face.

+1 I had to laugh also and then laughed even more when I saw the guy modeling a helmet on the bike had a stupid soa t-shirt on. It was almost as good as watching any part of the movie 'Idiocracy'.

It looks just like the Akoury helmets which I believe are from Canada as well

If I pick one up and it has an SOA logo on it which is the correct protocol to use a blow torch or a buck knife to remove it?

I'm actually about to order one of these...been debating for a couple weeks. Are they really as low profile looking as the pictures lead you to believe?
