3.0 out of 5 stars Similar helmet sold by many others, September 2, 2010

This review is from: German DOT Half Helmet Large (Misc.)

This exact helmet is sold by multiple vendors, both here and on ebay- made in china and sold by many others, as so many things are on the internet.

I have one that I purchased a year or so ago. I ordered a 2XL, which is what I wear in a full face helmet, and it is a little too big on me- after trying on some half helmets at walmart of all places, I determined I should have gotten an XL.

At any rate...I think these are good looking helmets, I don't think they look overly large and they are a fairly faithful reproduction of a german helmet unlike some of the others that are being sold.

My number one complaint with this helmet is the garbage chinstrap and D-rings. First off, the chinstrap is too narrow, I would have preferred something that didn't feel like it was cutting into my throat all the time. Second, the D-rings seem to be made for a wider strap. When you cinch down the chin strap, the D-rings end up all cockeyed and make it difficult to loosen the chinstrap when you want to take the helmet off. For the same reason, the D-rings also never stay oriented in the direction they're supposed to be.

I really like the look of the helmet, but I may have to go with a different type when I order the correct XL since nobody seems to have one with a decent chin strap on it.

This review is from: German DOT Half Helmet Large (Misc.)

After a return of a previously ordered helmet (smaller size), this helmet fit very well. The helmet, it seems, runs a size smaller. It is an impressive looking helmet with quality throughout. I would gladly recommend it and rate 5 stars!

I ordered this helmet for its design and the fact it is DOT approved for California highways. Great for putt-ing around town, but also does well at highway speeds. Get that classic look and a great value. Has d-rings for fastening, but a trip to the local motorcycle shop I install quick release clips.
