It fits perfect. I have a pretty large head and it was hard finding a good fitting helmet but as soon as I tired this one on it was perfect.

I was looking at several helmets, thinking HJC, or Scorpio, but when I tried this one on I stopped looking. It fits my head perfectly, is quiet up to and beyond freeway speeds, and is Snell 2005. It came with a nice protective bag, and tinted and clear shields. Even a nice little cloth pouch for the spare shield. I chose this lid, then found out it came with a smokin' price My wife likes mine so much, she went and bought one just like it

Very comfortable helmet. Good air flow. No problems with fog on the visor.

ya know, it'd be a LOT better if many of you who tell us what you wear would actually answer the "is your helmet comfy" question!

so far, about half of this thread is a database of helmet prices

My CL14 was pretty good until I buzzed my hair, now its a little loose.

Definitly going to try a flip-up .... wonder about noise though

Yes, very comfy,
the inners can be removed too and put through the washing machine too which is keeps it fresh. The visor took some time to adjust for an air-tite fit, but i have 2 visors, 1 tinted and 1 clear and is a few seconds to change over.

only downside is its abit noisy, but i wear ear-plugs to combat that

I really like my helmet. Breathes very well and the only time I've had any problem with fogging was when it was about 35F out... Used it in the rain when it was about 55 out and didn't have any problems with fogging then. Fits nice and tight with minimal road noise. Got my moneys worth IMO

I voted for the helmet I wear most which ironically is the one that would protect me the least. It's a novelty helmet, a real low fitting skull cap with a plastic snap buckle. It's the kind that looks cool so that I look like Jesse James when I ride. It's definetely not DOT approved but hey, it was made in Pakistan so it has to be OK.....right? Ahaha, they probably sabatoge them. If I'm in a wreck, it might just explode and take out a couple cars with it lol. My other two helmets (a full face Scorpion and a half shell DOT approved helmet) are fairly comfy, but the half shell sits up WAY to high cuz of the padding.

My helmet is so comfortable and so convenient, I hate the idea of replacing it even though I know I should. It is a dual purpose helmet, looks like a dirt one, but its visor AND its chin guard are detachable, so you can turn it into an open face street helmet in a minute. It is also very bright (fluorescent orange with white, silver and blue) but still manages to look tasteful. If only I could find another one quite like it...
