I also have a Fulmer 3/4 face which is quite nice.  Funny I wound up liking the cheapy Kylin (ebay $20) helmet cause it's lighter and has a sun visor.   :D

By the way, ts1, did I see that Michael Schumacher qualified #1 for the upcoming 2011 Formula 1 season?  ;D :) ;)

ROCC 620 flip helmet, sold by Lidl (German supermarket) with spare visor and additional spare cushions for collar, cheek and ears. 5 years guarantee for spare parts. Nearly unbeatable price: 59.95€ = $83.33

But of course a Schuberth helmet (used by Michael Schumacher & Co) is much better.

World is a small place.

My gf bought it (silver colored) last week, it was sold here for 40 EUR in Lidl. :)

It has in-built sun shade "glasses" that can be brought down or lifted up using push button by the side of the helmet.

They are German made (not China imported).

Unbeatable price and quality for those with access to Lidl.

Sorry, but I can't believe Made in Germany. Not for this very low price and not with ventilation mockup etc.
Schuberth helmets (really Made in Germany) are >=400€ and everything does its job.

It is crazy, but they are. Here is the manufacturer http://www.speq.de/

They are TUEV tested, ECE-R 22.05 compliant, visor is FF-803 compliant.

Helmets are my favorite topic. Nobody EVER managed to explain to me the difference between 50, 100 and 200 EUR helmet and back it up with objective tests.

If you showed me this helmet 10 years ago, I would say it is in 300-400 EUR range.

Their SP-803 (only flip helmet) is quite different from the ROCC-620.
A German company doesn't mean Made in Germany.

The company is founded in 1989 and allegedly has production facilities in Rudersberg, Baden-Württemberg.

Now, are they really making those helmets there, or in Chinese sweatshops, I have no idea, neither does it matter.
