Default Helmets

Would some of you guys give me your likes and dislikes about the new Cevlar, lightweight half helmets. I now have a HCI half helmet that Harley gave me when I bought my bike, but would like to get something that is a little thinner while still being DOT approved.

I don't know how to find other threads but there are a ton on this subject. I've got a Carbon Fiber Dot Helmet that I've included a pic on me. www.carbonfiberhelmets.com Michael

I got mine from ACC. The web site noted above. It's a carbon fiber. They exchanged the first one as I just didn't like it with no questions. I think they even paid the freight to return it. Light, doesn't parachutte up at 60 mph. Went down with on a few months ago, just some minor scratches on it. I called them and they said send it back and they would look it over. Haven't done so yet. They're somewhere in Fla. Easy to get in touch with and even better made in the USA by Americans.
