I'd like to see some real crash data comparing it to other helmets. Not that I want to see people crashing.

The bandana/neoprene mask brigade(especially the ones sporting skull patterns or dragon teeth, etc.) always give me a chuckle and make me think, 'you know what keeps you warm, prevents road debris from smacking your face, and has the added benefit of protecting your head in a crash? A full face helmet.'

NOT intended to offend anyone here, nor start a helmet/no helmet debate. Just a random thought.

thats actually a really cool design, and depending on price I would prob pick one up. And Portero I agree with you, but when Im on my crusier I'll sometimes take my peanut or 3/4 helmet.

on a side note, a guy that rides a big "hog" I seen this summer, no shirt, pants, work boots, and a diamond plate steel mask over his month/nose area. I thought Oh good Lord if you crash that is going straight into your skull.

Bos-

Agreed. That lid looks cool as all get out. And your 'hog' story gives me the willies. Yikes.

Not for me; but any helmet is better than none.

Reminds me of The Road Warrior movie.
If you are going to wear that, why not just wear a full face helmet?

I have a modular helmet, pretty much does the same thing as this helmet, only faster and more convenient.

I agree with Thumpthump.

Also, since we are all entitled to our own opinions, I think that is the ugliest helmet I've ever seen. Sorry, I just can't help myself......

It could be uglier. They could put devil's horns on it or something....

What I like about it is that seems to have a solid portion that surrounds and protects the ears which 1/2 helmets don't normally have. I would probably not wear the front piece regularly but keep it available for use in the tourpak.

Kind of like a baseball helmet or something designed by the military. If one fits my noggin then I'm way overdue for a new lid.

We've probably all met a cruiser guy or 2 that could use a good muzzle...
