Default Carbon Fiber Helmet

Is anyone riding with a Carbon Fiber helmet? I'm wondering how comfortable they are and how they hold up over time .
I just placed an order on impulse, wanna make sure I did the right thing.

There was a big thread on this just a few weeks ago. Do a search and you will find it. Seems like most really liked them.

You won't be disappointed in your carbon fiber helmet...I bought one last year from the same place...great people to do business with. They have a 'no questions asked' return policy which is virtually unheard of when ordering a helmet online or over the phone. Most other vendors will not let you return a helmet once purchased. The fit is awesome...super light and doesn't catch the wind or move around...most times I don't even know I have it on. I think you'll be happy.

Satch, I did a search for Carbon Fiber Helmets before I started the Post, nothing came up. I'll try again.

Man I tried a few different searchs and nothing either. Too bad, there is a ton of great info that is hard to find using the search tool.

I too bought one (DOT) and couldn't be more pleased with the fit, comfort and quality. Got all the options, visor and leather ear protection and chin guard (recommend). With the helmet you get a thinner and thicker liner that is velcro'd in place so if you need to make small size adjustments you can. It is so light you won't even know you are wearing it and it is DOT approved.

Been wearing mine for about a year. At first I didn't like it, too tight. I guess I had to ride through a Texas summer, shrink my head, or "sweat in" the liner. When it 30 degrees or lower I use the 3/4 with a balaclava and feel like I'm wearing a bucket on my head. I think you pleased with the decision
