Skid Lid Original Helmet

I like the way it fits on my head and looks. The only thing I didn't like was the strap on the right side touches my ears and makes it slightly uncomfortable. The left side fits perfect without touching the ears. But over all. I like my product.

Comfort and Style

From a distance it looks great, but get a little closer & it reminds you of something you see all the time, but what? I ordered this helmet for my husband & he was happily suprised. He tried it on, looks in the mirror and says " Hmm, nice. But I'm allergic to mushrooms".(*That was funny.*)He said "its not quite what I'm looking for, 'close, but no cigar'. Thanks any way."I agree it is nice, but not the one. Plus the fit wasn't right, kinda loose on his head and all his helmets are a sz M. The size i ordered.So, I'm returning it (right after posting this) & continuing the search.

I wanted a smaller, lighter weight helmet for the summer months. Quality and fit are great, also has plenty of padding inside, but its larger I expected. I was hoping it was the same size as my old one in the photo on the right.

I bought this helmet to replace the Skid Lid brand helmet I already own.I thought I was getting the same thing but boy was I wrong.My other helmet is a medium so I bought this helmet in large because my hair is longer and I was going to wear a doo rag with it.This helmet crushes my head and sits way too high.

I had a Skid Lid a few years back that mysteriously disappeared from my bike. It fit fine with minimal "mushroom" head. My wife has a Street Steel that fits just as good: Comfortable, stays in place and has a low profile on her head. I bought this one thinking it would fit just as well. WRONG! It's obvious they added more padding to the crown which raises the helmet off your head. It also seems like they changed the strap geometry because when you tighten the chin strap, it shifts the whole helmet over. On most helmets, the D-ring is about level with the lowest part of the triangle on the other side. This one's about 2 inches off. Not at all a good fit.Had I kept the box it came in (I'm still kicking myself), this would be going back and I would be on my way to a local shop to find one I liked. Unfortunately I'm stuck with it. At least until it disappears too.

This helmet was exactly as expected with fast shipping.

Fits is good, weight is nice and they seem well made. Best price and value I found.
