Title: Bell Rogue helmet
Post by: Desert Dust on June 11, 2014, 12:44:27 AM
Unsafe, unrefined, and too expensive, but I want one.

Yup that helmet and some external armor and you would just look bad ass.

Till your face hit the ground anyway, then you will just look bad.

Yes, I read a review stating the mouth-guard offered just a bit more protection than a bandanna.  :(

Looks useful for paintball or armed robberies.  :)

In point of fact it doesnt actually look tough on.

You look like your going to comic con as a C.O.B.R.A. Commando.  Its cartoony and laughable.

couple that with its poor cost to protection ratio an you just look foolish.

The way the mouth/jaw/face guard attaches to the helmet looks flimsy so if you did do a face plant, it looks like the guard would just smash into your face without absorbing the impact. Maybe it would disperse the energy a little, and might be better than a bandana, but I couldn't wear it. Plus, less importantly but still an issue is that it does look like you're trying too hard to look tough which always comes off as dorky and uncool.
