Default Need your advice on this helmet.....

Good day, Riders.
I need your advice, good or bad, on this helmet.
I wanting to purchase a light weight, approved helmet but the type I want isn't available in our local stores.
I've seen this helmet on the internet and it appears to be everything that I was looking for.
If any of you have tried this one, would you please provide me with your opinion.
TX

It seems as though everyone makes the "smallest/lightest" DOT helmet. I need to see it in person before I buy. I like the looks of the carbonfiberhelmets.com DOT helmets. But, mail-order helmets has never worked for me.

You need to try it on before you buy. Seems like the sizes differ from manufacturer to manufacturer. An XL from on guy fits like a M from another. Try before you buy.

Helmets are funny creatures. I always like to try em on. Find the product in a store if you can, get the exact size, then order over the net if you need to save the $$.

I agree with bigskyhd. Try to find it in a store, check out the fit, then order online.

This is why we can't stuff in stores anymore. Everyone orders off the net to save $2.

I'm in the same boat as you OP. I've found a couple helmets I dig, but I have a big melon and I want to try it on first, but no one carries them where I am. Good luck.

opinions......the helmet will make you look like a mushroom head, i had one, not the exact one but a similar one. if yr really focused on saftey get a 3/4 or better yet a full face, if not get something cool
