Cheap russian crap. While they might look a little cool, perhaps for a costume I'd not be putting my head in one for real protection.

Thanks. I wouldn't have shelled out $700+ regardless, but it looks like a piece of dogshit from the start of that vid.

*Edit: Holy %$#@&^ that's styrofoam inside!!!!?!?

those guys need to have their asses beat....

man that is jacked up. For $700+ they could have engineered a QUALITY helmet AND made a profit. Shit makes me sick. Crooks, and dumbass crooks to boot. A quality version of that helmet would have made them $.

Um, all current helmets have styrofoam in them. That's what EPS is - expanded polystyrene. But there is a science to doing it right

well, ok. But that pos was like packing styrofoam, man. The kind if you'd find around a snowglobe at a fleamarket. Or what a disposable cup is made out of. Styrofoam.

It didn't look like anything anyone would ever call; "expanded polystyrene." It looked like crap.

Oh agreed - hence the science to it comment and the previous 'crap' one.

Here is post on russian motoblog about how it's made.
Text on russian but there are plenty of pics that will describe proccess.

I am disappointed with this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkUQ_BSD0MQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkUQ_BSD0MQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player)

but it seems that the guy ordered fake product from scammers.
