   This review is from: Skid Lid Helmets Original Solid Helmet , Size: 2XL, Primary Affect: Black, Helmet Category: Street, Distinct Name: Flat Black, Helmet Type: Half Helmets, Gender: Mens/Unisex XF64-6635

   Just a terrible helmet. Not only is it heavy and uncomfortable, but it looks terrible too. The helmet makes you look like a mushroom and feel like an idiot for paying money for it. AVOID DO NOT BUY

   This review is from: Skid Lid Original Solid Helmet – Generous/Flat Black

   Until materials change dramatically, a DOT approved helmet is always going to give you a certain amount of the dreaded “mushroom head”. This is due to DOT’s “cushioning” requirements. Hitting your head on the pavement isn’t just a matter of your helmet keeping your head from cracking open – your head is subdue sloshing nearly in it and the padding keeps the helmet from simply transferring that sudden shock from it’s plastic surface to your calcium based skull. Carbon fiber novelty helmets are extremely low profile and are made from the same exterior stuff that your DOT approved brain bucket is – it’s just got a lot less padding. That said, the differences are often bemoaned but seldom compared. I’ve tried to do just that with the picture I’ve attached comparing the Skid Lid Original Solid Helmet with an extremely well reviewed (but not sold on Amazon) carbon-fiber helmet. If you take a look at the two, the difference, in my humble attitude, is smallest. Certainly so small that the choice to have the added protection of a DOT approved helmet shouldn’t be hard to make. Mainly if the unthinkable happens and you find yourself going down the hard way.

   I’m a survivor of a extremely serious dirt bike accident and I credit my relative lack of farthest injury to my wearing a helmet. You owe it to your loved ones to reasonably gear yourself with protective equipment you feel comfortable with. I’ve worn the carbon fiber helmet and loved it. There’s been other times I was glad to have my bulkier Skid Lid on. I also have a Scorpion EXO-1100 Full Face Helmet that I’ve taken to wearing on the rare occasion I have to face my So Cal commute during the Rush-Hour Rodeo. Wear whatever makes you feel safe; the choice of what that is, is up to you.

   This review is from: Skid Lid Naked Shorty Flat Black Helmet S

   incorrect size, but could tell it was too thick. If you want a excellent dot helmet that isn’t nearly as thick try the outlaw slim-g.
