Recommendations for half-helmets
Recommendations for half-helmets
Heading to Tennessee, North Carolina in June. Looking for something small, light, cheap, must be DOT approved! I hear they really check the helmets.

If you're JUST buying them to be legal in nanny states, buy the cheapest you can find.
Otherwise, buy quality. I have found Harley's "HYBRID" helmets quite comfortable, and LIGHT. They are not small, but you can't see it when it's on your head.

Get a fullface helmet. Don't go modular as they don't do well in the chin protection areas. (That's 29% of where the energy will be absorbed.)
If your "friends" give you static for wearing a full face, grab a Louiseville Slugger and give their half helmeted heads a coupla good whacks on the rear edge at the base of their helmets. Watch that helmet slide up and give them zero protection, then, a couple more whacks on the back of their skulls to drive the point "home..."
Tell 'em you're doing them a favor as their lights go out.
