Got a $10.00 dollar head....? buy a $10.00 helmet. helmet laws SUCK & half helmets SUCK MORE - are BULLSHIT and not worthy of protection and or trauma dispertion( helmet laws: none in my and adjacent states) .When we travel as a club or several people to states that have skid lid laws and we need to pass thru I wear a SIMPSON Kevlar/Carbon fibre Full Face Race Helmet .
Just like carrying a 2nd Gun; better to have it & NOT NEED IT-Than NEED IT & NOT HAVE IT . Half helmets make good **** buckets or a necessary bucket to catch fluid from a broken brake line or a receptacle for gas from a brother rider *IF* you run out and need a half gallon till the next gas station .They also make great targets using a large .45ACP 230 grain round filled with water to blow the **** outta .

Just arrived today from Revzila. A HJC IS-Cruiser Half helmet purchased for my SO. Good looking, well padded helmet with vents and a drop down visor. However, it should really becalled a 5/8 helmet because, unlike most half helmets, the shape of this one actually drops down so the ears are fully enclosed by the shell. Can't offer an opinion if that makes it any safer, but should help with sound control. Picked the size based on her head measurements as listed in the sizing charts...fit was perfect. Price was right and free shipping.
This is a comfortable helmet, but if you're going for style, look for something else; it really makes me look like Kazoo. VERY top heavy and mushroom-ish.
