I think reevo? reemus? ree-something makes it, loving thing is wild.

This statement
|
Internal visors are horrible. They don't provide complete coverage, resulting in the "sun blinding you from the side around the visor effect. They are also bulky as hell and every helmet with them looks retarded. Anyone using them should be dragged off their bikes and beaten within an inch of their lives.

looking at leather jackets to replace the gorgeous triumph jacket some piece of poo poo lowlife took out of my car (I'm not bitter) anyway, the following seem pretty badass to me the Spidi JK http://www.kneedraggers.com/details/Spidi_JK_Leather_Jacket--650448.html I think it looks pretty sweet in brown or black. However, their sizing chart reflects dimensions that do not remotely resemble mine or any other fully grown male I know. Is this because their stuff doesn't fit or they just have a tenuous grasp of size charts? Is Spidi a good brand? Does anyone have any exprience/guidance. Alpinestars Drift http://www.kneedraggers.com/details/Alpinestars_Drift_Leather_Jacket--654309.html retro and groovy--I think their stuff fits pretty slim: correct? Dainese Retro http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-retro-leather-jacket In the same theme but it appears to have no ventilation whatsoever? That might be a deal killer for me. Tips/similar jackets/etc?

A classmate of mine wears a leather Dainese and he seems happy with it. This is Dallas, 100 degree heat with high humidity, so it is probably alright. I'll ask him on Saturday and get ya the details.

Anyone heard of or had experience with a brand called VEGA? I was in a dealership today and they had this helmet (solid color) http://www.vegahelmet.com/v-tune.html on sale for like $170 or something. The features I was interested in were the flip down the visor and built in bluetooth. I'm going to assume no one has, but if you have, let me know!

I just bought a helmet, its called a DIC. I have never heard of them before but it has both a Snell and DOT sticker on the helmet. It was made in china which has me worried, but I suppose most helmets are right?

Yay, look what I got. I really like this external armor. It feels a shitload more durable than the little CE armor panels in my other jackets. Also has a big rear end external spine armor plate on the back.

Do not buy helmets made by Advanced Carbon Composites. They made several helmets that they claimed met DOT requirement but failed to meet requirements. They then recalled and "fixed" the helmets as well as design a new helmet but the "fixed" and the new design all failed as well. They have now entered into a consent decree that bars them from ever making helmets ever again. http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/04/28/motorcycle-helmet-maker-forced-to-end-production/ Here is their site: http://www.carbonfiberhelmets.com/ They appear to have removed all the motorcycle helmets from the site and only show kayak helmets now.
