Well, he said he just bought it from an online vendor and then only mentioned attributes that can be seen in a picture or read in a description. That's why I asked.
I've tried many different brands. Can't go wrong with an HJC, mid level to low-end helmet, price is OK, fit and finish not bad.
By far though, my favorite is Arai. They are stupid expensive, but you can pick one up (new) for a decent price on ebay. I won't buy another brand.

I thought the rules for the distributors (for Arai) that their helmets could ONLY be sold at dealerships where they could be fitted properly?
Have to wonder who is selling them on e-bay, and what it is you are getting.
But have to agree, Arai and Shoei are in a league and price point all their own!

Yeah, the rule you mentioned is true, I believe. Not sure how some people get around it. But I've purchased two Arais on Ebay, both were brand new, and both took a big hit against the pavement and saved my melon.

Moonchilds hubby here, I have an Icon Mainframe myself, its a decent helmet for the money. Full face or no ride for me, used a skid lid once in CA, felt like I was riding naked
BTW, Ed, I know you, I used to drive a fast Neon, now I drive a fast Charger And no, not fast compared to your ride, just cars

Boxer. They are very well constructed, exceed all the standards, the front chin plate swings all the way to the rear and look cool (like fighter pilot helmets), on the down side they are a bit expensive.

Never heard of it, but that is pretty cool looking.

The lack of venting (any) and fogging issues would knock it right out of consideration..

I've never had that problem with mine and have had it for 5 years now. Seems to get great airflow in and around the face.
