Default Akuma

has anybody heard of these helmets? any experience with them? i'm thinking of getting the doragon or werewolf with my stimulus check, but wanted to see if any body here had any input. They look pretty cool...

Well, never heard of them. But looking at their FAQs, the helmets (V and R series) are apparently ECE 22-05 certified, which is really good.

I've never had an Akuma helmet but they do have some cool visors I saw at a bike show one time. It's basically the same as those Transition Glasses you can buy. The visor gets darker/lighter depending on how much sunlight there is.

i was leaning towards the doragon, but with an all red bike, the werewolf would prob be better. and all their helmets have led's in the back vents. looks pretty cool.

i think the helmets look bad ***! and that tint on demand is the coolest thing i have ever seen in my life. i really like that they are pro military. i can't wait to see the devil dog helmet. helmet harbor said that its based on the v mar helmet and that its not that great.. here are links to other places on this forum these helmets are discussed. i think one of the members on here is actually a distributer for them.
