Helmet Makes the Man

My 1st one

2nd

My new one

The holes on the back light up and has a map light up front

When the chin of the helmet hit the concrete my head slammed into it, thus smashing my nose. You can see where I slid on the shield as well. I didn't know I was bleeding until I went to pick up my bike. Needless to say, my nose was sore for about a month.

silvy, glad the helmet protected you, for the most part. its an icon alliance right? i have one of those too. great helmet

 

[SilveradoTX]

pinball, that makes two of us. I've always been an advocate for wearing gear, and even though this was only around 15 mph it could have turned out way worse than it did. The helmet did it's job. And yes, it's the Alliance. Mine was the Operator Alliance SSR. Always got comments and compliments on it.

Braindead,

How do you like the Variant? I have been tempted to get one just not sure how that visor would be in 60+ speeds

 

[braindead]

Not bad i dont feel any resistance till about 100. Then i can feel it start to pull. It is a very comfortable i like it just as much as the shoei.

If only these were DOT

I would think they would hold up fairly well Jake plus be cooler than most out there

 

[jakestolar]

I know the one on the right it rated to 150+ G's of top and side impact

Awesome thread. love the fighter pilot helmets!

 

[Evolutionz]

I love it, the cheeks ran a little tight at first due to the memory foam, but uber comfy now.

Thaloc i just got the roof boxer last week its pretty awsome not very quiet but great airflow a comfortable ill post picks soon also you can see more than any other helmet i have tried or owned i hear they suck in the rain though

posted here before but i love the carbon helmets

i know it says HD but its an HJC FS-15 Carbon and from what ive read its one of the lightest helmets out there. Of course the HD one was about 150 more than the HJC i can't complain, its saved my head before and the first one I got as a gift and split the bill on the second one with my dad (hopfully i wont NEED to replace it again)
heres my old one (now on display in the garage as a reminder)

High sided and smacked my head on the ground at about 70, then slid down the road a couple hundred feet.
