My $0.02. And that is all it is worth.
I use the “SOA inspired “ style in matte black. The first one I got I returned it because the matte finish pealed off of it. The replacement did the same thing. My wife has the same helmet. Same issue. A friend had a the same helmet in matte black and the finish pealed off of it. I got a 2nd replacement. Same issue with the finish. So I sanded mine down and rattle canned it. The helmet looks ok now. My friend went to a gloss black when he replaced his. The gloss seems to hold up better than the matte black.
As for fit, low profile the ease of the ratchet strap, it is a great helmet. But the finish failing on so many makes me question the overall quality.
Same deal here....went with silver, makes the helmet cooler than black. Ol lady went with white....they are refreshingly comfortable in 98 degree humidity.
So I decided to retire my beat up Novelty Helmet (Voss Polo) and go with a DOT.
After a bunch of looking around Crazy Al’s (Bikerhelmets.com) was my choice. All the photo’s support a low profile no mushroom head fit. The SOA inspired Gloss Black beanie with peek size XL was my choice.
Anyone using one of these care to chime in?
Here’s a pic of the one I ordered.
I went with the Akoury matte black helmet from Blackbeards , looks like it’s the same helmet just with out the peak. Very comfortable light weight helmet and don’t lift off my head on highway. I went through several helmets this one is the best so far. https://www.blackbeardsgear.com/

How hard would it be to change the chin strap to the old style D-ring? I really don't like all that hardware. Thanks
I have a Shoei full face and a Daytona half helmet. Last summer I probably wore the Shoei more than the Daytona.
its well vented and I have no problem seeing out of it. It doesn’t look as cool as the Daytona but the protection it offers more than makes up for it.
