Best 1/2 helmet which is best?
#31
I always bought a cheap DOT just to have for states that required them.I use to wear a cheap beanie novelty helmet.I never thought of spending over $50-60 on any helmet until I tried the HD hybrid model.It is lighter than carbon fiber or any novelty.It has vents and removable liner.I don't even know I have it on,it is so light.That said they are very pricey,and would never pay what they ask,so I found mine on clearance for $100.Best money I ever spent on a helmet,IMHO.

I went back and forth with my dealer when buying my bike and when I had an acceptable deal I said, OK, throw in two Hybrid helmets and its a deal. It took several hours but they called back and said they would do it.
The wife and I both love the HD Hybrid's. They were priced at $239.00 each. Very pricey, but extremely light and very comfy. Hers even has a gap at the back for her pony tail, she loved that.

nap-strap so you can snug it down comfortably,great communication acc.,cool cap is a must for me also.If you're looking for something just to keep your self out of court it's over kill.Heck 30 yrs. ago I got across Nevada with a white plastic K Mart salad bowl tied to my head.I wear mine all the time and wouldn't trade.

+1. Yep....Skid Lid is the cheapest and best looking DOT half helmet out there. I also have a RDX(Ridex) DOT and it's right up there. Both nothing fancy and don't look stupid. I have the Scorpion too...It's really a good half helmet, well made, lots of features, etc, etc. It's a little big/wide and honestly is a little funny looking while on. ALSO and more importantly IMO...Lots of front wind resistance with the Scorpion....If any wind hits the Scorpion your head is gonna rock some....as speed increases it will get worse.. If you're a 55-60mph rider it won't be a problem....
