#9012 bikerpastor (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 81 1/2 Helmet 5 Years, 8 Months ago   Wondering what type of half helmets you guys are wearing out there. I have been wanting to get rid of my Vegas 1/2 helmet because it is too bulky. I hate the mushroom look and I also don't like the fact that the wind graps it alot. I have been looking at nexl (nxt) helments and at www.carbonfiberhelmets.com I need a good light weight DOT that is small. I have also checked out daytonahelmets.com but all of these are on-line and no one close to me carries these helmets. Help? Blessings.

Not bulky but not slim. DOT approved. I also have an HJC convertable but it's more like the mushroom look.

DOT approved, flat black. It isn't quite as small as the "novelty" version, but is smaller than the vega, fits much better, especially the strap is under your chin instead of in your neck (vega)and doesnt have that visor rattling in the breeze. Like it a lot!   Logged     http://www.hellrisercustoms.com/jjsnet   The administrator has disabled public write access.
