I have a HCI half helmet that does not fit well. hurts my forhead. so I wet out and bought a Bell drifter liked the fit and all but the first time I road my bike 09 street glide on the freeway I could not read the road signs from the buffering. I do not have this problem with my HCI half helmet also I dont have this problem with my full face shoei I do get some buffering but not like with the bell drifter so took the bell back and I would like some recommendations Im going to put the klockwercks 6.5 recurve on my bike soon
if i had to wear a helmet due to law no question id get a carbon fiber light weight small helmet. Does the new half helmet you got have the snap on visor on the front those things act like a dam sheet of plywood and just catch the wind and are worthless.
Having lost a family member to a head injury, I'm a little sensitive to helmet protection. The way I see it, you never get a good second chance at a bad first bounce off asphalt or concrete. Just my 2 cents...
my Gmax 1/2 helmet is the most comfortable helmet I have ever worn. It is a lot lighter than the Bell helmet you had. (at least it felt a lot lighter to me)
I like my vega 1/2. I have a Advanced Carbon Composite XL that has only been worn a couple of times. If your head is an XL and you want to go that route we can work something out.
