Dont buy them they're overpriced crap, go for a high end Shark, right now they have the best technology and by far outperform an Arai, Shoei, Suomy etc.

But I see F1 drivers wearing these... I would think they would want to feel safe.

:laugh:

A $25 head, wears a $25 helmet ;)

Yea, but a $50 head pays less for a helmet that's just as good. :D

I drive race cars, I've owned and worn a lot of helmets. I usually use a Simpson, but I just recently switched to an Impact Racing Helmet (although they don't make Motorcycle helmets, which I assume this thread is about. Simpson does though). It's great helmet.

Not saying they Arai helmets aren't great helmets, they are, but they are expensive. All the helmets have to meet the same ratings to get the Snell sticker, so all commercial helmets with a Snell rating are safe helmets.

nba players wear $100 jersey's and i don't see what's so special about those.

i guess it's good, but over-priced... kinda like north face.

Shark makes Motorcycle helmets, F1 drivers dont ride bikes, they drive formula one cars.... When asking about motorcycle helmets (If indeed thats what you're looking for) then look at WSBK riders or MotoGP, in which Shark is very popular.
