Default ACC Polo DOT Helmet

Been hearing a lot about this helmet. Does anyone have it and wear it backwards? Also, I looked on their website and the biggest size they have is large which only accomadates head sizes up to 7 3/8 and Im around 7 3/4. Do they offer and bigger sizes etc?

I've got one and love it.It's Lightweight, doesn't lift in the wind and looksgreat.No, you can't wear it backwards. I needed the straps moved back 1/4in. and it was no problem. I think they can make a helmet to fit any head. However, I feel the helmet is a bit over priced and for a DOT helmet I wonder how it will perform in a crash compared to the bigger and heavier dot's.Also, get the D-rings.

I ordered a non DOT half helmet from them with d rings. ITs gonna be a few weeks, but it will be worth the wait. Apparently the only thing that the non DOT helmets didnt pass to be certified was a spear test. apparently DOT used an ACTUALL spear and it barely made it through thus no certification. Thats good enough for me because if I find myself behind a Spear delivery truck, Ill gladly change lanes! The non dots passed every other test, so if you want a non dot from them, know that it IS 99% as safe as a their DOT. I figure that if I have something about to spear my head, chances are that it will hit my face, and the spear test would be for nought anyway!

I ordered the DOT ACC helmet from them when I walked in their store. Very helpful and professional group of people. They custom fit the helmet to me, actually heated up the helmet and formed a purfect fit to my skull. They also told me that if I ever have problems with it, they'll fix it. Worth the price IMO.

I bought mine a little over 6 months ago. At highway speeds it was lifting when worn forward. I think the straps where placed badly. I noticed that it worked fine when worn backwards. I never sent it back and have been wearing it backward from the day I bought it. I had one other incident with the helmet. The DOT foam on the inside came away from the helmet. A few drops of Crazy Glue and that was solved. Why didn't I send it back? I love the helmet so much I could not do without it. Nice look, nice feel, nice fit (although I have to wear it backwards).
