Default Rockhard American Classic 3/4 helmet

So, motorcycle-superstore.com has got me turned on to the Rockhard American Classic 3/4 helmet. Advertises a soft satin-like interior with real leather. DOT helmet although the customer reviews claim it is lower profile than the Daytona 3/4's with a better fit. Anyone have one of these? I'd like some more feedback before I pull the trigger. Thanks!

Yup, I got one last year. Nicest 3/4 I've ever tried on, lighter than my DOT 1/2, really like it. Fits good and is comfortable.

The wife and I each have one. I have the mat black and she has the Iron Maiden. Both are very nice but for some reason hers looks alot smaller on my head as oppose to mine although it is one size smaller! Both are very nice, they fit and feel awesome. GO for one a little smaller than what you would normally wear. The only thing I don't like about them is as probably with any 3/4 helmet is I can't hear my bike with it on. Sometimes on the highway I try going for another gear because I can't hear the engine to let me know what gear I'm in!!! Other than that, the best helmet on the planet for under 100.00 dollars!!!! I say go for it!!!!!!!! Btw, she has a small and I have a medium!!!

So, here it is. I like it so far. I have a block head and bought a Large. It fits well and feels like it will break in nicely. The old lady doesn't like it. She says I look like "The Great Gazoo". It does seem a bit high on top. Overall, I am pleased. Hope this helps someone out.
