Has anyone tried these helmets or heard anything about them?

I have two because one doesn't fit correctly but ithe first one was a gift. My girl bought it and I didn't try it on before the the 30 day return expired. It's a medium and if you are interested send me a PM and I'll send you some pictures etc. You are right about the protection but I have a bad neck and the lighter weight is the best for me to be able to wear it consistently and for me that's better than not wearing any at all.

I'm on my second one. I really like them. Super light and very little mushroom head.

Be careful if you get the flat black one. Do not clean it with anything but water. The first one I had I screwed up the paint by cleaning it with a cleaner polish . Combined with summer heat and it was toast. Bought another right away.

I bought one and love it. I normally wear an XL in Shoei. I bought the 2xl and it fits perfectly. Very happy I gave it a shot

I just got one recently and really like the fit. The strap mechanism is really cool. No more fighting with two rings.

I hate 1/2 helmet look but cant stand full face. So I have used 3/4 forever with goggles, perfect compromise and looks correct.

A 3/4 is what I'm wanting too. I've got a friend with the coolest 3/4 vintage helmet, white with a faded american flag. Don't think it would save his melon all that well because I think it's many years old,.. but it sure looks cool. I'm not a thick person so even with the WSB helmet I still look like a freakin mushroom.
