Just bought a Craft helmet. Love the look's of the thing. I need to hear from others that have this brand and get some feed back. | ||

Did it come with a box of Macaroni and Cheese? Oh wait... that'd be spelled "Kraft," wouldn't it? Never mind...  | ||

I bought the RX-1 Series Cobra.  | ||

i like mine. the visor hinges are a little flimsy though. doesnt ratchet real well. | ||
| Bads1 |
I guess what I'm after Tim is.Is it well padded ,visibility,and problems people may of had. | ||
| Glitch |
Hate to say it, but, the few people I know that have 'em say they get uncomfortable fast. | ||

Bad, Shouldn't you have asked for feedback BEFORE you bought it? Kinda' doesn't matter at this point, does it?  ~SM | ||

OK, I'd never heard of Craft, but I did a google search...they do have good advertising!  | ||

i think its comfortable enough. it is probably a little noisy compared to others. one thing i like though is i get plenty of fresh air that comes up under the chin but on me atleast the draft dies down before it hits my eyes and bothers them. keeps me fairly cooled anyway. i always thought the speed wings on the back of a street helmet were pointless. but since i got one i have noticed it takes pressure off of my neck as far as making it easier to have my head tipped up to see when in the firebolt seating position. i think the visibility is fine all the way around, but that is me. most others cant figure out how i ride with the black shield on 24-7 either. | ||

Swordsman, Yep your right but got a good deal so on impulse I did it. If I don't like it I'll send it back. Besides I'm looking for feedback. Everybody could say it feel's great and so on. Doesn't mean its gonna feel the same for me. Thats the chance you take when you can't try a certain brand on first I guess. | ||

Looks a lot like the old Simpson bandit helmets... | ||

For the past year I've wanted to buy the Craft RXX3  but with no feedback I'm kind of worried about fit. They look pretty cool though. Paul | ||

Shred, New12r, and Silverbullet all bought one. None of them have had enough good things to say about them to make me want to buy one. I don't think Shred even wears his. I know he was trying to sell it in the classifieds a while back. | ||
| Bads1 |
Glitch, If I remember right Shred bought it and it was to small for him is all. | ||
| Glitch |
I don't remember if that was really the case though. He has the same complaints as New12r & Silverbullet. I think he may have said that so he could sell it without saying he had an uncomfortable helmet for sale. I'm looking forward to how you like yours. When I tried on Shred's when I was thinking of buying it, it felt like the padding was too stiff, but the main reason for me not buying it was the same reason I can't buy other helmets that are made for a round head. The inside shape wan't friendly with my Arai shaped head (read bullet head). When are you supposed to get yours? | ||

Glitch, Most likely this coming week I'll have it. | ||

Tim I thought you had one of the other Craft style helmets. That helmet just looks Bad A$$. All mine needs is some paint. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPltv7oGOp4 | ||
| Comeauzee |
I tried on a Craft but didn't like the fit and ended up buying this one.  | ||
| No_rice |
i think i am going to have a bit of painting done on mine also. it will say everything that needs to be said when its done, lol | ||
| Terminator |
Comeauzee, wot do u think of the Icon helmet,ive been lookin at their products recently and realy fancy an Icon helmet, ive seen one in blue that would suit. Only problem is finding a distributor in the uk. Anyone else have an Icon helmet please let me know what u think to it. Thanx in advance....... | ||
| Comeauzee |
I just got mine and haven't had it out riding yet but it fits really nice, it's nice and lite, and comfortable. I also have a few friend that have Icon helmets and they love them. Hope that helps.  | ||

I've got an ICON Mainframe(Legion) and I have to say it's very comfy. It does get a little loud at speeds above 60 or so and you cant remove the liner for washing, but for the money it's not bad at all IMO. The ventilation is pretty good also. Just hope it does it's thing when/if the time comes  . | ||
| Steve_mackay |
it will say everything that needs to be said when its done Oh boy.... btw, Thomas is waiting for another "stunting" instruction from you this year Going to Homecoming again this year? | ||
| Tigerbuell |
I have the RX6 Evolution and find it to be comfortable. The look is cool, very Darth Vader'ish. I did have a whistle coming through the visor that I fixed with some foam weatherstripping. I was a little P.O.ed about having to rig a new helmet but it cost $250 instead of $450 like some so I still came out ahead. | ||

when you finally get your hands on it dana, i may have to give you a call and see if you notice the same thing on yours as on mine. i am thinking about ordering some new hinges for the shield, but if yours is the same that must just be the way they are. lol steve, i am always up for doing dumb stuff on a tricycle, lmao. hard to get hurt to bad that way! i am planning on trying to make it this year. i'm also trying to round up the gf her own bike before then. if nothing else it sounds like i can get one of the riders edge blasts from work for the weekend. would one extra person be a problem for you guys? it all depends on her summer schedule though. | ||
| Steve_mackay |
Tim, another person certainly WONT be a problem. Looking forward to seeing ya... | ||

I would not buy a helmet without first trying it on. Manufacturers size helmets differently. One helmet I have is a large and it fits a little too big.(I had to add padding) My other helmet is an extra large and fits just right. I tried that one on before I bought it. | ||
| Bads1 |
Old man, I know where you are coming from but this helmet is not something that you can buy but in only one place in the country. So this is my option.... besides I can return it. | ||
| Bads1 |
Rice, I have the helmet and it just got delivered. What was the question you had. If it was about the visor.... mine seems real ratchety but it work's fine. Let me know. Dana aka BadS1 | ||
| No_rice |
does yours seal good ALL the way around? if you put the helmet on, the bottom left corner of mine has a small gap between the seal and the shield. almost like the ratchet on the left side is out of whack, or the shield is a bit warped. been that way since the day i got it. |
