Has anyone recently purchased a DOT german helmet and been happy with the quality? I recently returned one made by HCI because the inner liner was too flimsy or loose, the rubber strip did not fit plumb, etc. Also, does anyone wear the HD Rally Rider half helmet? Pros Cons with that helmet. I am going to buy one of these and am looking for some direction on experiences with the helmet and where to buy them (obviously HD for the Rally helmet ) Thanks! Ride Safe.

RE: Helmet help
A friend gave me a DOT 'German Army Helmet' real POS. At steeds above 50 it damn near strangled you. Same as above, if you are gonna wear one, get a good one, or buy a novelty.
Simple. I like the look and my state has a helmet law. Original Junior, thanks for that website. I'll keep that in mind. I am still curious about the HD Rally Rider helmet.

Just curious why you want a helmet like that? If you want protection, wear a real helmet. If you don't, don't wear one at all. Personal choice.

This one is a "real" DOT certified helmet. Granted it doesn't carry the price tag of a HD helmet but it is DOT certified. As for staying on my melon, it sits well. I just finished a 1600 mile trip and never did it feel like it was ripping my head off. Like I said, I do have another helmet. The HD basic in flat black. It has the detachable ear/neck warmer roll. Nice 1/2 helmet for winter rides. Found on ebay for 65 bucks. Dealer wanted $120.
