The Super Bandit helmet doesn't fit as good as the Chinese one however.

When the car picked up and had to get a full face helmet, I hate it in hot weather, because I wear glasses and I sweat too much, fogs my glasses. I had a Bell helmet, it fit really nice, I could get my glasses slid in with out too much trouble. I bought a G-Force, because of the vents, removable liner, so it is easy to clean, and the price. If it is going to be obsolete in a few years, sorry, but I am not going to buy a super expensive one. Just like seat belts, why spend money for really nice belts when they are obsolete way before they are worn out? Yes I understand the value of my life, but the reality is the cheap stuff still has to pass specifications, and I think it will still protect me.
