they look pretty nice and are pretty reasonably priced, I'm thinking about getting one just wondering.

My uncle purchased one, I put it on and probably wouldnt ride down the street in it to be honest. Its tough to say how accurate that feeling was, Im used to my vey snug fitting Arai and my uncles helmet was at least one size to large, however it felt thin and cheap and I would not have raced in it. If I were you I would try one on if you can find a dealer.

What are u using it for.
Street,, sure why not.
Track/race,,, don't use it, Simpson makes some great helmets but I don't think this is one that i would use for the track.. Compare it to an hjc cl-15. Nice helmet for the street but not so much for race use. I would say stick to what we know works. arai, shoie, agv,,,,,,,,,, the big ones.
keep in mind you get what you pay for.... if you head is only worth $149.95 then spend $149.95,, if you think its worth more  and I hope you do go get a better lid.
My recommendation would be take a look at a shoei rf-1000. you will spend any wear from 250 to 300 but it is worth it.
That's just what I think; there are a bunch of other helmets out there that I would recommend as well.
does that help you out?

I was more looking at the street warrior. its snell 05 and dot. approved and comes with 3 different size cheek pads.I wish I knew where a dealer was around hear.thanks for your input., I've got an agv and shoei now .I like the shoei fit better the agv feels like its smashing my face.

I had them when I raced cars. Liked them. But no way in hell would I use one on a bike.
