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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you have to have or want a great helmet this one works. I've had a bike all my life, so helmets are std. equipment. MOTORCYCLE SUPERSTORE IS A GREAT PLACE TO SHOP!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

Overall good
Overall a nice helmet. Like the matte finish. Main problem is that the air flow goes right on your face. I guess that's what you get when you don't use a full face helmet. But price was good. The interior seems to be made of good materials and leather.

The AFX helmet
I really love this helmet. I'm not a motorcycle enthusiast, so to speak.....before I bought this helmet, I read everybody else’s review of it. I just bought it to test out if I liked it. I followed the sizing chart, thought it was too small... felt that way at first, then, the very next day, it felt great! What I really love is the movable visor. It saves your glasses on the highway and my husband was even impressed with this helmet! For a rube like me, it's great! Plus, it's good for anybody. I'm no dummy, and I like it!! Motorcycle Superstore is great for anyone. My Hubby and I have both ordered from it and we're happy

Right fit
I normally wear an extra large helmet and the sizing chart for the AFX-FX-42A indicated that is what I would need. But the XL was too small and I had to return it and get a 2XL which fits perfectly...

AFX - FX-42A Helmet
Good helmet for the money. Fit is right on, finish is excellent. Visor is so clear and correct, you can't tell it's there when it's in place. Fairly quiet for a 3/4. My wife did say it made my head look big, later I had to hold my tounge when she asked about her new pants.

Worth The Price
Helmet fits true to size. I ordered the size according to my measurement on the size chart. The neck curtain in the back comes loose sometimes when I remove the helmet, but is easily re-attached. The neck strap is comfortable. Some wind gets past the visor. Helmet is fairly quiet. Seems very aerodynamic - doesn't bounce around in the wind (no windshield).

Good Helmet, Great Value
A surprisingly good helmet for little cost. Better airflow than most 3/4 helmets with a visor. Little wind noise and strong positive fit--good for long rides. Comfortable even in the hot, humid VA summer.

Unusual helmet with Excellent Fit and Finish
The full open-face helmets I've tried were uncomfortable about my jaw but the 3/4 open-face, if that accurately describes this helmet, is comfortable while covering the ear and upper jaw for more protection than a half helmet. Unmentioned in the description is the flip-up visor which makes getting to the glasses much easier. The visor does a great job of protecting my glasses and offering ventilation of an open-face helmet. Motorcycle Super Store offers a great service while trying to fit helmets but the AFX size chart was right-on. And a most important aspect is AFX's Lifetime Warranty not to mention Super Store's reasonable price!

New "Pilot" FX42-A
Best money I have spent on a helmet that fits me well, feels good on, and has a cool factor. I got the flat black and am very happy with the color, good flip up visor with room for glasses. I also ordered one size bigger than normal...XL instead of my usual Large. Perfect.
I would recommend this helmet to any of my friends. And have.

Quality finish and looks consistent with description. Fit could have been a bit better.

Great Fit & Appearance
This is my first 3/4 helmet in forty years. All my other helmets have been full-face. The overall fit and finish is top notch. I decided to try this helmet because it was getting to be a problem communicating verbally with a full-face helmet while on the bike. It's easier with this helmet and I believe the protection is very good too. I figured for the price I couldn't go wrong even if I hardly ever wear it. That doesn't look like it will be a problem. It's definitely a bargain.

Seems to fit fine
The fit of this helmet seems fine. I typically wear a size large helmet, and a large fit my head perfectly. I bought this helmet (color: red) b/c I thought the look went well with my 1975 Honda (also red), and the price was right. I really like the design of the face shield. Protection-wise, it provides a little more coverage than a half helmet (it covers the ears), but less than a true open face or full face helmet. Overall, I'd say it’s a good helmet for in-town cruising.

Great helmet
I received this helmet as a birthday gift...granted, I suggested it as a present, but my wife was kind enough to get the hint.
The sizing chart was dead on, the flip up shield is very nice (truly keeps the air out of your eyes and has enough space for glasses underneath), and the price was outstanding. It is a wide helmet, so it may not fit in all scooter's under seat storage areas (it's about 1/2 too wide to fit in mine), but if you have a helmet hook it's no big deal.

NIce helmet, size problem
Helmet size runs way....small. Ordered a XXL which my other helmets are and couldn't even get it on. My wife liked it and tried it on and it fit her fine She's a M/L.
