I saw this helmet in the Royal Distributing magazine that was mailed to me yesterday.
I don't hate it, just not sure what to think of it that's all. It's certainly different. I guess it's just when I look at it, it reminds me of Hannibal Lecter with rabies or something I don't know it'll probably grow into me.Look at this way...if you were use to wearing a full face with your sport bike and switched to a cruiser bike and didn't dig the beanie thing...this is a substitute for that. Bugs smacking you in the face or suckin dirt your kinda protected....a hanky is kinda ridiculous. A little cooler for hot days even on the naked around town. Either you dig it or hate it, at least somethin different than the same ole.
Is this supposed to protect your jaw?

I think it looks cool. But like the vid says, it's a half helmet, that feels like a 3/4 helmet that has a guard to keep bugs out of your mouth. What I don't get is why sportbike riders are supposed to wear full face (which is obviously safer) but cruiser riders are supposed to wear beanies. How is crashing from one any different than the other (assuming both are following the laws of the road). Like cruising at 100km will not rip your face off but sporting at 100km will? I'd like to wear no helmet, but I don't because I can't. And I wear a full face because it makes me feel safer from debris and instagram users etc.
Well looks can be deceiving to the uneducated then....areas they do share. First both are Bell helmets, secondly they are both 3/4 helmets, and both have unique qualities, Rogue has the face guard system and the Drifter dlx has the speed dial adjustment system.
Well if I were to go that route I'd prob rock these which I think is more badass if it's purpose is to just protect from rocks and bugs

I thought we were talking about looks and features of the helmet... Not the fact that they're the same brand or same type of helmet.
You're pretty much comparing a CKX or other cheap helmets to Arai helmets. They're both full face and they both have vents that serve different purposes.
