Michael Branson,  MO AFX - FX - 42A Helmet I purchased this helmet to use on a cafe racer; I felt its construction would be excellent for upward-viewing, as in seeing traffic signals. I was impressed by the light weight, interior materials, acceptable fit and quality of the visor for the price. The only area in which I was disappointed was in the difficulty using the D-rings; their edges are too sharp, making adjustment very difficult, if not impossible, even without gloves. I have other brands of helmets as well and the D- rings on those are easy to use. For the money, however, this was an excellent purchase.

Rich Central Indiana,  IN You get what you pay for When it comes to helmets, you really do get what you pay for. I decided to take a chance on a helmet for under 100 dollars and shouldn't have been disappointed, but I am. It looks cool, but there is a low-end quality to the materials used and the wind noise is terrible... behind the wind screen of my Road King, it actually gets worse and even with earplugs, I have to ride with the face shield up to make it bearable. If you need an inexpensive, distinctly different scooter helmet for around town, it will work well, but it just doesn't pass as a full-fledge motorcycle helmet.

Jesse Santa Maria,  CA AFX-FX-42A Helmet I purchased the AFX-FX-42A Helmet for my daughter so she could ride her Yahamaha Vino scooter. She loved that it had plenty of ventilation. I recommend this helmet for anyone who would like a helmet for recreational riding.

J. J. Berry Houston,  TX Nice Helmet Purchased this helmet as a backup for cooler weather riding. I am really impressed with the construction and appearance of this helmet. The fit was a surprise to me. I measured my head and used the chart sizing and obtained a perfect fit. I think wind noise is a subjective measurement, but the minimal amount I experienced around the ear was very acceptable. If you like a helmet that fits snug and resembles a fighter pilot look, you won't go wrong.

William Peoples Ludowici,  GA Excellent product Helmet fit great, but make sure you use the sizing chart and it will be right on. This helmet is so comfortable and the air flow is great especially since I live in really hot weather. Motorcycle Superstore was cheapest I found and I searched everywhere.

FlorinC NY,  NY Bad Airflow At High Speeds Great helmet as far as materials and fit. The visor moves up and down great, very smooth, killer looks. This is a good helmet for the city, where traffic is less than 50 MPH. On the highway on the other hand, the airflow was VERY loud right after about 55-60 MPH. Use earplugs! Wind protection from visor is minimal. If you are use to loud wind noise disregard, if not, have fun, but remember, nothing beats a full face helmet for face wind and noise protection. Overall, nice helmet for the city at a good price.

Amanda Mesa,  AZ Runs about a size large compared to other helmets I'd suggest going a size down, as the helmet fits for a very round head. Nice and light, comfortable, but loose. Great value. Will likely order a size down.

Mae Round Rock,  TX Blue is Beautiful I just received my helmet today and I must say it is great. Fit is perfect. I have to get an x-small helmet b/c I'm a small woman, so the helmet makes me look like a space ball. You know the helmets they wore on Spaceball's the movie. But it still looks good and I'm safe. Some air gets through but it's not a full face so air's coming in. I would also like to tell you thanks for being timely and I will defiantly order from you again.
