Default If your shopping for a helmet, may I suggest...

Hi all,
I was at Daytona this weekend. I stopped by the Helmet shop and picked up a new Bell Pit boss Half helmet. This is a half helmet with a pull down visor, speaker pockets in a removable skirt and a strap system that reminds me of a hard hat. The thing stays planted on your head. I test drove a Dyna at Harley and at 70 with no screen the thing did not move. It fits great too. Check it out, not expensive either $120. Just thought I would throw this out there.

Interesting, thanks. I found that one on the internet a week or so ago and was intrigued by the adjustment system. I've never seen one in person. Thanks for the report.

I've looked into one of these Bell Pit Boss helmets last fall. Only thing that kept me from buying was I didn't know if the SENA system mic would pick up to much wind noise or not as I currently wear a 3/4 with the SENA.
Still considering one as if fit my head good and it's visor finished it off very well. Nice looking helmet!

I bought one last year and like it. I did end up taking off the helmet adjusting piece due to rubbing on back of neck. The zipper on ear muffs work good and are comfy for cool weather. Also have a Joe Rocket RKT 500 witch is nice but the ear muffs are terrible (hard ill forming cardboard?). So it will be my summer helmet.

I've been wearing a pit boss for a year.love it. It fits a little smaller then other bell helmets though, but the flip down visor and the adjustable strap on the back is worth the purchase
