Default Anybody ever use pgr or tms german helmet?
Was looking for a small DOT german helmet and was wondering if anybody has used german helmets from tms or pgr? Are they decent helmets and are they low profile or mushrooms? Im trying to buy one untill leatherup stocks up on low profile polo helmets. Thanks everybody.

Is a German helmet a mushroom? Really? Don't they flair out at the bottom LIKE A MUSHROOM?

It's damn near impossible to find a DOT German style helmet that doesnt give you a ***** head look.

I had one of the PGR German DOT's and it sucked! I guess due to the design it felt like it was going to rip my head off once you got above 30 MPH.

Idk if ur familiar with the term mushroom when it comes to half shell helmets but mushroom look is reffered when the helmet sits to high above your head instead of sitting low to your nogging and not looking like a big juggernaut helmet

Don't know about TMS but I bought on of the kids a PGR helmet. The lid its self is fine, a little cheap, but ok. The finish however is horrible, had scratches right out of the box.
