Hello Guys.

I am looking for a carbon fiber DOT German style half helmet. Can anyone tell me the best place and kind to go with. I'm looking to spend about 100.00 bucks give or take a few.

Thanks

Carbon fiber helmets cost way more than that. The real ones atleast. I buy my helmets from revzilla.com or leatherup.com

Daytona makes about the nicest real carbon fiber DOT approved German helmet, not to mention they make four different shell sizes proportionate to your size, instead of you looking like you have a sting ray drooped over your head if you happen to wear a size S:

If you look around, they can be found for anywhere between $49 to $99, do a google search and you will find them.

I've been a full face helmet guy sense I've been riding. And as much as I love the TV show SOA I'm not by any means a "1%er". But I love this helmet and I'm really considering buying it. Has anyone tried it out?

Quite expensive compared to a regular half helmet. But I sure do like it!

That Rouge screams poser to me. I prefer to spend on function not if I look cool or not.
