Out with the Daytona
After I arrived home following my mini Saddle Sore, I was greeted with a box containing my Daytona Eclipse modular helmet. Helmets Etc sent a large this time but it was still too large. I considered exchanging for a medium but just couldn't bring myself to do it. The helmet lacks adequate padding, once on & fastened - the interior padding was loose therefore moving on my head. The chin latch was metal on plastic (not too reassuring in a fall off). I now understand why this Chinese made Caberg knock off is $200 cheaper than the Caberg.
In with the HJC IS-Max
After some more research, I visited and purchased the HJC IS-Max modular helmet. The fit and finish is excellent, padding thick & removable for cleaning, helmet fit secure on my head, internal sunshield has great coverage and chin latch is metal on metal. I would highly recommend this helmet.
You wait all these years to find the ultimate driving machine, finely tuned and engineered for the real rider...you then fly here only to leave the next day, excited to ride all the way back to Virginia, in one day....but decide to put your most valuable asset, your head, in a knock off, Chinese helmet??? Do you wear a knock off Chinese bullet proof vest too? I'm glad you selected something more comfortable, but most importantly safe.
