Damn I don’t even like half helmets, but the quality of each video you guys put up is amazing. Keep up the awesome work and reviews ❤️
protect yourself; use a fullface
you really look like Stipe Miocic
Gr8 review as always. You’re very generous for doing so much for no money.
Whats your opinion on getting a half helmet for slower vehicles like an electric scooter that has a top speed of no more than 35 to 40 mph? Would you still recommend a full helmet or you think one can get away with a half?
Half helmets are good for bicycles riders. I mean, safety aside, when was the last time you (say a dude), thought, “wow, that guy really looks cool in that half helmet cruising down the street?” Well… maybe, but not me. Protect your melon. Insurance rates will drop!
well done its nice to see younger riders being honest useing education for explanation trying to get information from my fellow older theologens usealy ends with blaa blaa HARLEY rules there ideea of advice is based on there experance or a fellow rider who has had a bad experance and when it comes to helmets its an hour conversation about the RIGHT to ware one,
well done
be safe
and thank you
I like half helmets for short, around town trips. Other than that, I like three quarter helmets best. I used to use full face helmets. I can’t stand the heat. I don’t ride like a road racer anyway.
Hmm. doesn’t seem like the best person to review half helmets. Thumbs down
I like the honest intro

I gave my first CS-2N to my friend. I’m a size large and that was an XL. I got a large last March. There were times when I felt a lot of pressure on my forehead, temples, back of my head. Now that it has totally broken-in, I love using it. Everything Ryan said in this review is true. I also love the very simple styling. I pair it with a pair of retro goggles and a cotton mask that has loops that you put over your ears to protect you from dust and diesel smoke. It’s perfect. If it wasn’t for the unpredictable weather, I’d like to use it to the mountains. By the way, mine’s a gloss black.
can’t talk about the best half helmets without mentioning the motorcycle cop’s preferred brand: Super Seer. i have a family friend in law enforcement who got me one of these bad boys at police department price, and it fits like a glove!

BELL ROGUE
the mussle is really easy to put in … you just need to put it in front and magnet to the rest you only need to remove it by passing over the magnet this is made for dont loose it easealy
You are living in fear
Lol dude you CAN adjust the muzzle smh
why would anyone use half helmets???
how safe is that.
I have used the Bell Pitt Boss for the last few years and love it. Because of this review I decided to try a Gmax GM65. It was a very nice helmet but I did not like the fit at all. It sat very high on my head like a skull cap and wobbled from side to side on me. It left me with a very venerable feeling. Also as pointed out in the video the visor did not come down far enough for my liking either. As much as I liked how it looked and that the liner was removeable I sent it back and ordered a new Pitt Boss to replace my old one. To me it is a far superior helmet.
I wear a modular. Best of both worlds.
However, it amazes me all the people on the roads and highways on bicycles . Some move pretty quick, and close to speeding cars. Skinny tires, spandex, crazy helmets, no lights, no horn, weak brakes.
I use a half helmet. Less wind noise, more awareness of the environment around you. Lots of noise in a full helmet because your head is placed in a cathedral environment. Noise resinates throughout it. Like putting your ear to a sea shell. It’s a noise magnet. This noise is a distraction you don’t need. Yes a full face is preparing you for a crash. It’s no wonder, you can’t hear and vision is restricted.
I ride a Harley, and I ride it all over the south and southwest U.S.. I take trips anywhere from 3 days to 14 days as often as I can. I wear a half helmet most of the time especially on short rides or around town. I carry a 3/4 helmet with a face shield on the trips in case of rain. I wear a helmet even in states that do not require it. These are what I choose to wear and I am comfortable with the risk. You wear what you want to wear and let everybody else wear, or not wear, what they want. That is part of the “freedom” we claim to enjoy as bikers. You people need to get off the soapbox telling everyone else how stupid they are. It is just your opinion,, and just your head. Let everybody else worry about theirs. And remember, in all your self righteousness, there are way more people out there who don’t ride, who hate motorcycles and the people who ride them and they all think all of us are stupid and don’t deserve to be on the road no matter what kind of protective gear we could wear.
Fact: There are more motorcycle crashes among crotch rocket riders with full face helmets then riders with a half shell helmet riding a cruiser motorcycle. I see it all the time working with the highway patrol.
All these helmets are extremely ugly
I have this debate with myself all the time. I own a Shoei full face, Bell Pit Boss (half helmet), Bell custom 500 (3 qtr.), and numerous others. I wouldn’t ride a sport bike at the track, or my sport touring bike (Concours 14), with anything other than the full face. But when I’m on my Street Glide, I prefer the half or 3 qtr. unless it’s very cold riding conditions. I know it makes no sense at all, the full face is the safest and most logical choice for all riding situations. But, it does detract from the riding experience on a cruiser IMHO.
I want to buy an inexpensive helmet to go through the MFS course, in case I don’t like it there is no huge investment. Looking at the Outlaw brand of half helmet (T70 model) found on LeatherUp.com for about $40. Any thoughts or experience with this brand? If I like motorcycling, then I am looking at the HJC IS 17. Tried one on today at my local dealership and really liked it. Thanks Ryan! Love your channel.
Is this kid even old enough to ride?
Or a wang head..
How well does it adapt to the unclear system?
FortNine, great review, you know your stuff and you present it well. I personally don’t like the full face models,they feel restrictive and seem to limit your peripheral view. I don’t catch much wind because I now ride a ‘geezer Glide’ 2016 Road Glide CVO. the half helmet with the pull down shield for rain works just fine. You next review should include the Voss DOT 888CF Bullet Cruiser Half Helmet, very light, comfortable and includes a drop down shield, as well. In my humble opinion, if you are riding fast and eat it, the difference between the full and half helmet is the difference between an ‘open casket and a closed casket’. Apologies for the dark humor. All the best
Bell Pit Boss has an optional clear visor for about $8
millenials are very particular about protection and gear. wheelies and triple digit speeds in the city are perfectly fine though.
Wow the comments are shitty.
Here’s what I’ll say:
Do what ever the fuck you want.
You want to be more safe by wearing full face helmet? Go for it. Jaw injuries suck. You don’t have to justify that to anyone.
You want to go a little more raw with a half helmet? Go for it. To some it’s worth it. The breeze is nice in a lot of areas. You don’t have to justify that to anyone.
pit boss offers a clear shield as an after market purchase.
half helmets are fine as long as you have a windshield but no shield and your hitting bugs and rocks
You fucking millennial twink
Sean Reeves rides naked! Live life to the fullest!
Stupidest thing out there, only reason to buy this is if u live in California and want people to think your a “Harley riding bad ass”
The problem with half helmets is that you look like a complete goofball while wearing these….. And the problem list goes on ….
