I think ACC has a carbon fiber German helmet. I have a polo and like it a lot. They aren't cheap, but they fit and they are light...

+1 for ACC. As light and comfortable as any helmet I have ever worn.

I am not an avid helmet user, but I do like ACC helmets having researched their product. They will be my next helmet (that I actually use)

I'm sure he's in Los Angeles (CA plate on bike & "Location:310" 1 of many Los Angeles Co. area codes) CA has a helmet law & are really cracking down on the novelty stuff. I think thats one of the reasons I like going to the Laughlin River Run...no helmet law in AZ so, I do about 80% of my riding there!
