Helmets

Arai

Try a Shoei Must comfortable helmet I ever bought. Well worth the price.

My Arai Defiant is a really comfortable helmet, even in 100 degree heat, lots of ventilation. Even more expensive than the Shoei, but they make the safest helmets on the planet, many pros wear tem for that reason, and Arai pays none of them to wear their helmet. Great vision, adjustable cheek pads, and a completely removable and washable liner. Easy to change out face shields in a second to go from smoke to clear and back again.

Do they have a crumple zone in addition to s hard shell and styrofoam?

Good question

...but I don't think they do. There is nothing in their propaganda on that.

I saw a demo for a revew helmet. I don't remember how to spell the name. But it had a rear view mirror in it, and the demo team talked about a crumple zone. I remember now it was Reevu. http://www.reevu.com/. It was REALLY expensive.

i agree. However, I got a couple of PMs from people who said they don't understand how statistics relates to them on a personal level. For those people, I hope this puts a human face on the statistics. :lecturef_smilie:

I was at Vegas Bikeweek this last weekend. A vendor was selling those novelty helmets that are not DOT approved. I looked at one, and it had no styrofoam in it at all!

About three hours later, I got bored listening to the rock an roll bands, so I went for a walk. There was a guy with a bagger. He was't riding the bagger; he was WITH the bagger because the bike was on the ground, and he was under it. Based on the quantity and volume of cussing, I deduced he wasn't badly injured. I went over to help him up. Guess what? He was wearing one of those novelty helmets, and his was brand new! He had a couple of big cuts over his ear where the helmet cracked.

I don't know what became of him, but I saw him throw the helmet in the trash.

So, to answer the question..."No. We shouldn't just 'move on'."
