Default AFX Helmets info...

I'm curious to see if any one has used or purchased and used the AFX helmets? More specifically the Dual Sport model listed as FX-37DS.

They are not real expensive and so then goes the theory of spending large amounts of money on the protection of your head. I was just wondering what people think of these. This is the style I would really like to have. The Arai helmets are $500 plus in this style and I say no thanks to the price. All comments welcome. Sound off!

Here is info I found on it:

SAFETY CERTIFICATIONS
This helmet model meets or exceeds both ECE 22.05 and DOT FMVSS-218 motorcycle helmet safety standards. Please Note: Only ECE approved helmets purchased from European importers carry the ECE certification markings. This is due to ECE regulations.

A flush-fit, quick-release, single-turn screw face shield with side covers. The shield itself is optically correct, compound-curved, scratch-resistant and protects against UV-rays

Shield can be removed to allow open face riding or goggle use

9 points of ventilation with chin, side, forehead, top and rear vents

Looks like there is another thread going on about the same thing.

Thread is up in the General V-Strom Discussion.
