Anyone have any input on this helmet?

Quality compared to Arai or Shoei?

El Matador

Their plant is in New Braunsfled in TX.

I went in bc I saw it by chance.

To be honest, I was not impressed.

The fit and finish seemed under par, it was NOT comfortable and it fit my head all wrong.

Also it had nowhere to secure the strap to after you pass it by the double d rings WTF? ???

Thanks for the quick reply....I notice they don't seem to do a lot of cycle helmets, more auto.  It's got a unique look though...Any suggestions for a new lid?

If you like crazy/ not regular lid shapes, go for shark. They're very very good, and not that expensive.

Otherwise, I would say whichever fits you best between arai and shoei  [thumbsup]

Good luck finding a lid you like, and post up pics after you get it!  [thumbsup]

Neither helmet I've owned has had this. My jackets have a flap that I am able to secure the strap...
