I have an expensive helmet for my rocket bike, and as I take my girlfriend to work every day I needed a second helmet. I looked all over for an inexpensive flip-up helmet and found this one that beats the price of any other full face flip-up helmet out there. The helmet is comfortable and fits well. The flip up mechanism is pretty sturdy, as well as the visor hinges. I would recommend buying it!
I was very surprised to find a modular helmet for $49 and even more suprised when I picked it up at "site to store" and found the quality to be above my expectations. The lining is very well constructed and well sewn (lining actually appears better than my previous helmet). I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because it is a not a top of the line helmet. I owned a modular Nolan helmet for 14 years of riding but the lining finally wore out and started leaving marks on my forehead (safety compromised). The Nolan helmet had a quick release chinstrap and was very well constructed but I think I paid something like $250 for it (and that was in 1998). So to find this helmet at 20% of that cost I'll live with the fact that the vents are of less quality (look rather cheaply made but haven't leaked water yet) and that the visor could seal a little better and doesn't have a locking mechinism (does get a drop or two of water through it in a downpour at 65 mph but not enough to complain about). The Nolan helmet also seemed to seal off wind a bit better from underneath (get a bit more of a draft in the chin area with this helmet and the couple of raindrops may actually have jetted up from underneath...couldn't really tell) or maybe the chinguard on the Nolan was slightly lower...not sure. Overall though it is a great helmet for the money paid and even if it only lasts half as long it will be a great purchase...the dealers tell you you should get a new helmet every 3 to 5 years anyway since the foam and padding get compressed over time and use and the helmet becomes less safe... and to that end this helmet is only DOT approved, it is not Snell approved. I believe Snell has higher impact speed requirements and also tests chin guard impact resistance. So if you believe Snell standards must be met you will likely pay for the added inputs to meet their safety certification. For me it appears that the jury is still out since several articles and studies claim that snell standards are excessive and the stiffer foam required for higher impact absorption actually makes lower speed impacts more severe but I suppose a headache or cuncussion at lower speeds is better than a coma or death at higher speeds. Either way DOT standards seemed sufficient for me and God willing, I'll never have to put it to a high or low speed crash test.
