Gunner75 Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 This guy says he paid over $1000 for his. I had actually wanted to get one since the company says they are DOT and Snell approved. Not after this shithttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkUQ_BSD0MQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmanlyst Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Yeah my dad sent me this vid link on FB after I had posted something about it. That foam seemed to a lot more brittle than what they actually use on the helmets I have snd all that debris inside the helmet is ridiculous.

shittygsxr Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I wish they were cheaper so that all of the idiots that I want to avoid would be able to afford them. It would have saved me so much time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyb357 Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 The dreadlocks broke after 5 minutes of riding. Yeah, because that's a BIG important criteria of a safe and functional helmet. I'd have to kick my own ass if I had this on my head. The world never fails to amuse me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner75 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Well then you to would've deserved to get fucked overI wouldnt have bought one at that price to be honest. I considered it for the shock factor. Ive seen many people out there pay over 1000 for some Shoei helmets and I think they are nuts too. I believe you over paid for your victory, do I think you should get fucked over? No the manufacturer should stand by their claims. And at the time they were marketing these as DOT/Snell/ECE approved. Its obvious by the view angle they wouldnt meet either of them, but they specifically stated the materials used were, but when you look at the helmet inside parts its far from it.

conn-e-rot Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Are you honestly trying to compare that POS to a high end Shoei? You can think I overpaid all you want but trust me I bought it well under book so I'm not worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Meh. I was thinkin' that the hot pink Mowhawk crest was more my style anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 If you truly want a helmet for shock factor buy a good helmet and have it customized to suit you. You can tell at first look that thing is a POS so yes anyone that was dumb enough to purchase it deserved to get fucked over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can think I overpaid all you want but trust me I bought it well under book so I'm not worried.No im not comparing it to a high end Shoei, all im saying is these helmets were originally marketed as having been DOT/Snell/ECE approved it even said so in some of their facebook postings that I had read. The guy in the video fell for the look without doing homework. The quality of materials are far from meeting any of those standards. Yes seriously overpriced from the get go, but there is no way in hell i would pay over 500 for any helmet to meet DOT/Snell/ECE specs when there are so many other helmets out there that look better and have been proven to meet the requirements.In the end I wont buy shit from a Russian company due to the chances of it being total shit.

Kent2406 Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I know we all have our own taste, but damn, that's one of the ugliest helmets I've ever seen! I don't think I would ride with someone that was wearing that. Just stupid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
