Carbon Fiber Helmets

Has anyone ever tried out these helmets? Are they less bulky than other helmets? Are they safe?

Thanks

RE: Carbon Fiber Helmets

I have two of them, I wear the one all the time and I love it, It's not DOT but its a helmet. The other one is the one that looks like a horse riding helmet! It has a buit on visor. I get too much lift from this helmet when I ride my non- fairing bike. Still a nice lightweight close fitting helmet. I would say go for it.

RE: Carbon Fiber Helmets

I just got my Carbon Fiber Helmet. Looks and feels awesome. I got the NON DOT one. The sales rep. on the phone said it was perfectly safe and passed all the DOT tests except the "puncture" test, which I guess I can live with. However, there is a warning label on the inside of the helmet saying something to the effect of "This helmet is for novelty only and not intended to protect your head...we are not liable for any damage...etc." So, if this thing useless for protection? Should I return it for the DOT one?

Thanks

RE: Carbon Fiber Helmets

I bought a DOT approved carbon fiber HD half helmet. On a side note, I would never buy a helmet that was not DOT or Snell approved. Minus well not wear one at all.
