Half Helmets ?
What are y'all using for good comfortable half helmets? Rode for many years without one but now with grandchildren, I have a different mindset. I know the value of full face helmets but just am not interested. Need something that meets DOT approval standards and is time tested.
Thanks

I wore an LS2 Rebellion for a couple of years, then found a Twister 2.0 at a local shop. It's so light it's like not wearing one at all. It's DOT, but I have zero faith that it will truly provide any protection, but I also believe that any half helmet won't do much.

Not sure why you'd pay $119 when you can pay $39.

blackbeardsgear.com or bikerhelmets.com have some of the lightest and most comfortable half shells I’ve worn.

Very old advertisement: If your head is worth $10, buy a $10 helmet. If it is worth more, buy a Bell....
What ever happened to the Snell certification? don't see it much any more. Isn't DOT basically a useless rating, like being UL listed?
