Default Simpson Ghost Bandit NEW $205 bucks

I now for the first time in my life own a full face helmet. I've worn and still own a couple of modulars and have been looking at Simpsons for a year now.

Having an internal drop down visor is a must so the Ghost was high on my list.

Let's go ahead and discuss why Revzilla has these on sale. It's the camouflage print scheme! WTH
I am sure that is why no one is buying them at the full $484.00 retail price and they have a 60% off closeout. Hey we want to be seen, not hide from traffic right!🤣

For the price I said screw it, I going to give it a try. My thought was I would just paint it, maybe flat black. Well much to my surprise I actually like the look better than expected. The Carolina Girl is not happy. She has been polite but I know she does not like it and is asking why I need another helmet. When it comes to gear, helmets, gloves, jackets, riding socks and every other riding accessory I will be the first to admit I have a sickness.
















I was concerned about fit. They say if you are close on size to go up a size. I have a big head at 24-3/4 inch circumstance and wear a 2XL in all helmets. This one stops at a 2XL.

Well she fits, very snug. But not uncomfortable. I've been wearing it around the shop and taking it on and off and like it. I hope to be able to put some miles on it today and see how it is on the road.

If you are looking for a bargin and not concerned about color check these out.

That's not bad-looking at all. Camo is cool! Sounds like a pretty hot deal which is always a plus.

No helmet is as cool looking as the Simpson Bandit. I have the Mod Bandit like it. Smokin deal.
