I keep saying the HD Carbon Fiber helmet is going to be my next 1/2 helmet.

Headtrip made in USA

HD helmet made in ????

Headtrip very light, minimum shroomage

HD heavier, more shroomage

HD has more padding and better finished liner

Headtrip has just enough to be DOT compliant but is still comfortable, thus, less weight and shroom effect.

I have a ACC carbon fiber headtrip helmet and its like wearing a ball cap (well almost )

In a serious accident, neither one will save your life. It's just more about keeping the cops off your back. Glad I live in Fl. and have the choice to wear it or not.

I just bought a Harley 3/4 Stock Helmet. Found out it's made by KBC.
Look on the Harley Helmet site read the description on the helmet you want. At then end of the description it will have a name of makes it.
Same helmet - Less price.
Having said that, I just love the Bar and shield logo

Here I was always worried about shrinkage and now I have to worry about shroomage...
