re hell mets in article mavenry altcit eskimo com maven mavenry altcit eskimo com norman hamer writes having talked to a couple people about helmets dropping i m getting about don t sweat it you might think about replacing it and the other don t ride with it go without a helmet first is there any way to tell if a helmet is damaged structurally i dropped it about feet to cement off my seat chipped the paint didn t seem to screw up the actual shell i d bet the price of the helmet that it s okay from feet or higher maybe not if i don t end up replacing it in the real near future would i do better to wear my totally nondamaged face dot rated cheapie which doesn t fit as well or keep out the wind as well or wearing the shoei rf which is a lot more comfortable keeps the wind out better is quieter but might have some minor damage i d wear the full facer but then i d be way more worried about wind blast in the face and inability to hear police sirens than the helmet being a little damaged also what would you all reccomend as far as good helmets i m slightly disappointed by how badly the shoei has scratched etc from not being bloody careful about it and how little impact it took to chip the paint and arguably mess it up period looking at a really good full face with good venting wind protection i like the shoei style kinda like the norton one i saw awhile back too but suspect i m going to have to get a much more expensive helmet if i want to not replace it every time i m not being careful where i set it down well my next helmet will be subject to it fitting well an agv sukhoi that s just because i like the looks my current one is a shoei task and it s getting a little old and i crashed in it once a couple of years ago no hard impact to head my hip took care of that if price was a consideration i d get a kiwi k i hear they are both good and cheap christ i don t treat my head as carefully as i treated the shoei as far as tossing it down and i don t have any bruises on it be mildly mildly paranoid about the helmet but don t get carried away there are people on the net like those you mentioned that do not consistently live on our planet regards charles dod rz within the span of the last few weeks i have heard elements of separate threads which in that they have been conjoined in time struck together to form a new chord within my hollow and echoing gourd unknown net person
