Love my new helmet!

It was time to replace my pink modular helmet since I have dropped it a couple times... besides, pink bike + full pink helmet was a bit overkill.

Love the design! Still has a little pink too I'm gonna miss my modular style, but this one looks a lot better. Not so sure on better visibility - first time out on the bike with it on, got cut off. #$%&!

Not to talk badly or anything, but you may want to read up a little on DOT. Just about anyone can put that label on their equipment, while SNELL is actually certified.

Here's a little quote from Snell's website.

Quote:
DOT certification is done on the honor system. The helmet's manufacturer determines whether his helmets satisfy DOT and then claims the qualification for himself. There is not even a reporting requirement. The government does contract for some spot check testing at commercial and private labs but not very much. In recent years much of their effort has been spent against so-called beanie helmets that are obviously substandard and are worn only by helmet law protesters.

I had a tms helmet when i first got my bike. After switching to my scorpion I realized how much of a P.O.S. that thing was. Its loud doesn't fit right and lets be honest I only paid $30 off ebay how safe could it really be. I would recommend that you get an ECE or SNELL rated helmet as soon as possible

Although they don't have many ports, the helmets vent a decent amount. You can do way better though if you are willing to pay more. It's a very quiet helmet though.

I bought my first motorcycle helmet from IV2 (another online helmet company) that sells a lot of the same helmets as TMS, including the one @Duchess bought.

Just watch out though, your pads will break in pretty quickly especially if they get wet or you wash them. Those helmets run a bit large (at least in my case) and you'll have to replace the pads if you didn't size down.

Hmm... I wonder if you just had a bad fit? I've been out with my helmet quite a few times since purchasing and have been happy with it. Not very loud, good fit for me, etc.

Agreed - vents work well on mine, and are quiet as well. So far have had no complaints! After reading replies in this thread, I requested paperwork from seller for the certification, and am happy with the quality and the reassurance of safety. Of course since it was a cheaper helmet than the $300+ helmets, it's not going to be as amazing. I am happy with it though, and it definitely feels sturdy enough. As long as it protects my noggin if I crash, price tag doesn't matter to me.

I got a Fulmur helmet recently. I love it. I paid 85 for it, as I was able to buy a kids size. Most people haven't even heard of it. I love the fit and its a good helmet.
