Well my journey begasn when when I started searching for a helmet that
A. Was Light in Weight
B. Quality Built
C. Did not give me a "Mushroom"head effect.
After buying and having to resell different big name brand helmets, I fell upon a video of a gentleman who purchased a Daytona helmet from retrobikegear.com. With a unbeatable price & Free shipping on orders over $50, I was skeptical to make the purchase. After of a night of sleep I decided to order the helmet along with some goggles (I had to make up the difference somehow to take advantage of the free shipping =) ).
I placed my order on Friday and received my items the following Monday. INSANELY FAST SHIPPING. Quality Built. And best of all NO MUSHROOM HEAD
Key points:
(WEBSITE)
-RETROBIKEGEAR.COM hit it home with the free 2 day shipping.
-Customer service is outstanding, Mr Fred Engh has been replying to my emails basically back and forth all day yesterday.
-Crazy low prices (usually I buy on eBay, this website had my helmet for even lower than eBay)
In terms of the helmet I purchased:
-The helmet sits very well on head
-Adjustable side straps let you level the helmet so it sits perfectly on your head
-Thin walls keep the helmet from popping out and giving you a mushroom head look
Try giving them a look, I promise you wont regret it.
Sorry for the long review, but I had to give credit where its deserved.
No vents on this version. Wind gets up under just enough to keep you fresh but not enough to make the helmet feel like it's flying off your head.
I do like the bubble shield idea. But here in south Texas we have hot weather %85 of the year so rain isn't really to much of a problem for me personally
I've never once ever looked at a person wearing a helmet and said 'Gosh, they look stupid'.. I don't understand the people who are so obsessed with how it looks on them. You rarely if ever see yourself in a helmet so its obviously important to these people how other people think it looks. Strange priorities to me...
Lets face it, the 1/2 helmet (any brand) only provides so much protection anyways. Might as well buy one that looks nice. Me personally, I wont wear a helmet if it doesnt fit me just right. A helmet on my head is safer than one sitting in the garage. Plus, I have owned about 3 harley helmets in the past 3 years. None compare to comfort to my daytona. The fact that I can adjust the level on which it sits on my head makes the fit just right. The harleys never sat right on my odd shaped head =\
