Default Cure For 'Mushroom Head"... or,

I absolutely HATE the look of the DOT Mushroom Head helmets --

My buddy emailed me yackin about a new helmet from carbonfiberhelmets.com that fixes the problem, AND is DOT approved.

Also referred to as Head Trip Helmets---- has anyone got one of these, and are they worth the high price???

Please type that helmet companies name into the Search window and you can read a lot of information about their helmets.

Short answer, yes, best helmet going if your in the market for a 1/2 helmet....

Yes, worth every penny. I have one and love it. What do you suppose your head is worth? Would you rather spend $200.00 on chrome? Won't save the ol' noggin!

Drove an hour and a half to try one on and it wasn't any better on my fat head than other DOT half helmets. I was very disappointed.
But I did get a nice ride in!

When I try to get rid of my mushroom head, I just hide it in my wife.

I love my ACC helmet. The weight of the helmet is what I like, more so than the look. Got mine from The Helmet Shop in Daytona. They had the best price. $161.00 They shipped the day I called and got it in 2 days. They shipped with different thickness liner pads to get a custom fit for the size you order. I ordered mine with out the visor snaps but would reconsider if ordering another.

+1. Our local dealer, Sound Harley, carries these so I had a chance to check them out. The Carbon Fiber / Head Trip helmets may be slightly smaller than many DOT helmets, but they still have the stupid mushroom look. There is no getting around it if you want DOT.
