Carbon Fiber Helmets

[TurtleShifter]

I am looking for "light".

6D say's they are 3.362lbs

There are some claiming 2.2 lbs. 1000 grand anyway. For me it is an accumulation of neck injuries.

The hard shell is in most cases not what saves your noggin. It's the foam crushing under the impact forces that keeps your skull from cracking. That's why you need to replace the helmet after a good impact. It's a one time thing for that foam. It does not spring back.

That is of concern to me and how well a really light helmet could have enough impact damping to be effective. You really wonder what the difference is in a hard impact between the mid price and the high priced ones. The Airoh I will probably buy is around 5.

Shoeis fit my head really well. One of the only ones where I can't feel the spots it fits tighter.

Looks like a very nicely suspended liner system.

Bell and Shoei among others will do a free inspection if you send it to them.

As a rule of thumb, if it rocks your brain the helmet is probably compromised.

How bout having a lightning Bolt shot up your ass?

seems like a good solution if you're a pussy.

I know a couple other mfg.'s do as well, but I like the ability to get different sized cheek pads to get a better fit as well.
