Default advanced carbon helmets

I am about due for a new helmet .I am thinking about one of these advanced carbon fiber helmets. I am looking to hear some actual opions from others that have one. I have not seen them at any rallys. I hate to order on line only to be dissapointed. I am looking at the DOT helmet

Thanks for the info

Just bought a AC-3 HJC Fiber from New Enough. DOT and SNELL approved. Light and wear well. Look unde the discount area of the Web site. Good deals and good return policy.

I would not buy one unless you try it and inspect it. Do a search and you will find that you might get lucky and get one that fits you good, or you might spend a bunch of $$$$$ sending it back.

i bought the dot half helmet from them couple months back and love it! they give you three different pad sizes that just velcro in to fit your head. helmet it well constructed and comfortable for me. i have heard of some people say there is a gap at the front of the helmet and forehead that will push the helmet back but i have not had this problems. I think it may have been there older helmets as I ran into another person that had and older one and said the liner was different than what he had. i would definitly buy another one.

I ride a lot with Pirateeye (Kevin) and he bought the 1/2 helmet from Advanced and loves it--shoot him a PM if you want more information from him.

I've been using the non-DOT helmet for about 2 years........and I love it.

If they made the DOT helmet in my size, I would buy it for sure.

Live close to their shop. They are always busy and sell loads of them in this area. There was some question about their DOT helmets actually being DOT, but I think they got that taken care of. Great looking helmet, and I think if you mention this website you might get a discount.

I've got 2 of the non DOT's from them. Great helmets, no lift, no helmet head from liner.
