| I'm a fan. The helmet arrived in excellent condition; boxed and packaged to protect and ensure flawless condition; and delivered amazingly FAST. I questioned the sizing guide, but followed it anyway, and the fit is perfect. The retractable shield works great, especially early mornings and evenings when heading right into the sun. It adds the little extra sun protection to be safe. |

| would give this 5 stars but the drop down sunscreen is hard to operate with gloves on. The size chart was correct and the shipping was pretty fast. This is a nice lightweight helmet and goes over my perscription glasses very easily. |

| Bought one for the wife and myself. The fit is perfect and the visor is the bomb. If you wear glasses then this is for you. I would definately recomend you buy this helmet. The wife likes the chrome because she can see behind her looking at the back of my helmet. Must have! |

| Really takes the heat off your head when you are going to spend a lot of time in direct sunlight. Tested this fact at Rolling Thunder 2012 and rode 400 miles to Virginia Beach and back in nothing but direct, hot sunlight. Makes sense, black helmets absorb light=heat, white helmet better, chrome helmet best at reflecting light/heat.
The drop down visor is very nice when you are riding before sunrise with clear lenses and the sunrise finds you. Visor lets you keep your clear glasses on underneath but the tab is a little difficult to grab with gloves on as you ride into the sunrise. On mine, the nose notch doesn't line up perfectly with my nose. I've considered the possibility that my head is crooked but the internal lining also doesn't seem to be lined up (oriented) correctly with the shell. That being said, it still works and my nose does still fit under the misalignment of the visor.
The padded "V" strap over each ear is very wide in case you are concerned about the size of your cheek tan lines. The strap stays put at the tention you select and there is an end strap button to secure the loose end.
Sizing: I applied the rule of going one size smaller than my full face helmet size and the helmet fit fine. Very comfortable with a lot of padding inside.
I wanted a black helmet but they were out of stock and had to choose the chrome one. But I'm glad that I went with the chrome one. A lot of people liked the look of the chrome helmet when I showed it to them and I think it gives me a Mad Max, Judas Priest sort of a look, so I really dig this helmet! Chrome is awesome! |

| First, I'll say I was skeptical about ordering a 'large' for my fat head, but according to the measurement chart, that was what was suggested. It fits as if it had been molded to my skull! I wear eyeglasses and the the visor is awesome! I do wish they'd come out with a polarized version, though. The chrome finish is superb and is far cooler on hot days than the flat black I'd been wearing. It's showing a few tiny nicks here and there from road grit, but at the price, I can see ordering a new one every season as long as they don't change anything about it. Even the strap was well thought out with no need to completely disconnect it from the D-rings. The light weight of it is a relief, too. Shipping was mind-blowing fast! Customer for life! |

| It seems to help me very much. I was having trouble wih the glare of the sun and needed something to help me see without holding my hand over my eyes. It works better than the sunglasses I had and the visor really helps. |

| The Good: Looks great, keeps me cool, pretty lightweight. The Bad: Runs a bit smaller than stated in sizing guide. Chin strap rings have squared edges, making it difficult to tighten (and loosen). Visor is great for sunny days, and not so dark that you couldn't use it evenings, however it does direct the air under and into your eves. Suggest buying goggles, and only using visor for low speed riding... anything over 40, and your eyes will water so bad you won't be able to see... For the price it's not bad, but knowing that the visor is pretty worthless I would have bought the Bell Chrome Half Helmet for $25 (Item: #Bandito-Chrome). |

| Recieved helmet today, its just as shiney as my Deuce. Great looking helmet. I was skeptical about the size, but I followed the sizing chart, and it was dead on, perfect fit. Wore it on a short ride to work, and I almost forgot it was on when I arrived. Thanks leatherup for another great purchase and price. |
