Too cool, congrats!! Ive seen them, they have some killer designs, but not sure how they measure up to other brands.

Heavier than most, good comfy interiors, wind noise. Nice buy for the price. I actually owned 2-3 Fulmers but only used them while racing dirt track cars Never crashed a bike with one on. I looked seriously at the Cheiftan model before I lucked into my KBC at a much reduced price...Oh and BTW, YOUR SO LUCKY!!!!

I have a fulmer as my second helmet. They a good value from what I can tell. Of course I haven't bounced my head of the pavement with one either.

They're decent helmets for the price range. I've ridden in one, awesome graphics, good build quality and airflow. Noisy and a little heavy, nothing as bad as a Z1R but not as light as my Scorpion. Good score.

I bought mine localy and I know the guy at the shop so he let me have it a little cheaper than list. I think I gave $100 even for mine. Like I said, it's a cool helmet for the money, but it's no SHOEI. I'm not above using it in the summer but the Shoei is warmer for cooler riding.

I used it today...for a VERY short ride...it was loud but it was also really windy out...which is why the ride was so short.

As stated above, they are a little louder than most. I still like them though. Sux that you had to cut short over the wind. Hell, it's windy here on a good day.

When I won the helmet she asked me to send some pictures of me with the helmet so I knew I wanted to do that today...we went to the beach and it was SO windy and cold. After that (and cutting my hand) I was all fuck it and we went home. By very short ride I mean something like 5 miles.
