Guess my post was ill timed.

Walked my carcass out to the garage to get half helmet, take pictures of said half helmet, edit pics of half helmet, post comments about why I bought half helmet, and get whiney BS about answers to half helmets.

This is the whiniest forum tonight. *sigh*

(chuckle) not whining. Just stating the reason the thread has exploded to twice, or more, posts than needed due to some opinionated arseholes.

Although half helmet is my daily rider, I will be wearing this Cadillac tomorrow on my 300 mile trip North and back again on Wednesday. HD modular with built in visor.

You can see the small vents in front that open and close, and where the air exits on top. I think it was 75 bucks. Rodia is the brand. Not exceptional quality, but okay. The distributor shipped me a new in box helmet that was five years old.

I also wanted a sun visor. Never heard of this brand but they are the only vented half helmets I’ve seen. I’d like to know of other options if there are any, but I looked high and low.


That's an amazing helmet. It even has a built-in fan with a light on top!

You will not find a half helmet with a SNELL rating... ever!
