Just bought my kid a Vega Altura helmet. Seems like alot of features for a $90 helmet. So what do you think? Anyone wear one?

I had an Vega Altura Shuriken helmet http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...en-Helmet.aspx
It was a good "first helmet".
Pros- Inexpensive
- Fairly lightweight
- Liner can be easily removed for washing
Cons- If the helmet touches "anything", the paint will show "the scar"
- The visor fogs
- A little noisy when it comes to wind
- Not the greatest ventilation
Sex Panther cologne -- 60% of the time, it works every time

How big is your kid and what does he/she wear for a jacket?
He's 13 (wow where did that time go!!)
Got him a Duratex jacket in grey camo, some decent leather gloves and he wears his combat boots laced to the top. Just need to get him some pants before I take him out at highway speeds.

I bought the Shuriken black last year, retired it this year
They are only DOT rated
Was really cheap, they kind of threw it in with the bike purchase
After a season of wearing it pretty much every day the lining was starting to break down
I find my Shoei is a lot quieter and much more padding
I think the Vega had better venting IMHOBlood , its in you to give! http://www.blood.ca/

Great purchase for the price and as far as the DOT I would think that it would be sufficient unless you plan on canyon carving with the kid on the back. Cruising around town I don't think snell is a must and probably no more then he will be on the bike it will last a lifetime. I went with AFX for my son because it is snell approved and was ver inexpensive. I think I paid 130-140 for his lid and my daughter wear a snell approved hjc but only because it is a hand down from her mother who just purchased a new one.sigpic
