Any of you guys or gals owning one of these, is it DOT approved and what brand, a few I have seen are $40-$60 bucks,doesn't look like you get much for the money.

I have an HD one that I hate...size L....if anyone wants it. Sell it real cheap.

I wore it once and couldn't ****ing stand it.

I have a Bell Drifter that I'm equally un-impressed with as well. But at least it doesn't act like a parasail.

I switched to an old 3/4 plain black helmet. Works best for comfort and wind when out on the hwy. The half helmets have a tendency to pull up from my experience.
