Agreed!!! Will not wear this helmet unless it's 85 degrees + ....Helmet slides back on head. And don't give me that BS about being the wrong size, because it isn't. I have still to this day wore a half DOT helmet that doesn't slide back. They are all trash at freeway speeds...

+1 on that. Why bother if not for protection. My ACC is actually more comfortable than not wearing a helmet.

LOL....Don't get me wrong the ACC looks OK but c'mon better than no helmet at all??? LMFAO!!! Nothing better than riding with NO helmet at all. I remember back in the days when CALI had NO helmet laws (1991 and prior) when we used to wear our baseball caps backwards and called it a day. nothing better than that. But These ACC falling back on your head with chin strap choking and head pulling back...C'MON!!! You call that comfort??? I wear a helmet because its LAW nothing else. Like i've said before if MO. was a freedom state then i would ride with no helmet. We bother because we don't want tickets..IMO of course
