Core Cruiser Shorty Half Helmet

I am kind of in the middle of helmet shapes (intermediate oval and long oval) so finding one that fits good can be challenging. Overall fit is pretty good I'd give 4 out of 5 stars to fit (a little longer front to back and a wee bit less side to side would have made it perfect). It's not the heaviest helmet I've worn but not the lightest either. It kind of falls somewhere in the middle weight wise for me. For the price i paid for this helmet I don't think you will find a better deal on a D.O.T. helmet. Visor does rattle slightly at highway speeds but main function of this helmet is for around town when a full face is too hot to wear at lower speeds.

This is about what you might expect for a $35 helmet.There is no soft padding beyond the thin liner. The shell is whatever it says in the product description with about an inch of hard foam inside to caress your head.It is heavier than my full face helmet.I bought this to use when riding around town so was going to keep it no matter how bad it was but there is a problem.The chin strap will not tighten.I threaded the strap through the D rings as I have with every other helmet I have ever used. But when I pulled the end to snug it up, the strap would not slide in the D rings.I took the helmet off and threaded the strap through the D rings with the helmet in my lap. I had to pull really hard to get it to tighten.When I attempted to release the strap, it was very difficult to get it to slide backwards through the D rings.The strap appears to be too wide for the D rings or it might be too stiff or the D rings might be too sharp to allow the strap to slide easily. I do not know which.I normally wear an XL helmet but ordered a large based on the sizing chart that was on the Amazon’s description. Large size fits OK.With other helmets, there is a “break in” period where the helmet will more or less conform to your head. I do not believe that sort of thing will occur with this helmet because of the hard foam inner padding.The helmet comes with a helmet bag and a visor.Bottom line: For $35 it is a DOT approved helmet that does not look too much like a mushroom head.I would have kept it but without being able to tighten the chin strap, it is of no use to me.I think a better option for buying a helmet is to go to a motorcycle shop, bite the bullet on price and get a helmet that fits and works.

This is a really cool helmet! The visor is detachable, so if you don't want that you can take it off.It does live three exposed buttons, but I kinda like how it looks, maybe I'm just weird like that.It seems very well made, and I think will protect well in the case of a crash.My only complaint so far is that the chin strap digs in a little bit. It would be nice to have sometype of padding there, but it's not a big deal.I got this mainly for hot days. I have a full face helmet that I use most of the time, but when it's reallyhot out I feel like I'm suffocating in the full face. This does the job on those hot days.I can't speak to how it will stand up to the test of time, but I expect it to do pretty well.I actually ordered a second one for my wife.As to sizing, follow the sizing chart! My head size fit into the medium category, but I've always beenin XL in my other helmets, so I ordered a Large thinking to split the difference. I have to return the LargeI have and get a medium because it really is just a little too big.Good luck, and happy riding!

Its always a bit sketchy figuring out helmet sizes from helmet manufacturers online sizing charts.This helmet was sized true to the chart.I wear a 7 3/8 hat size and my large helmet purchase fits perfectly.The helmet looks to me to be very well made.I find it very comfortable and like the double strap attachment points on either side of the helmet.My old HJC 1/2 helmet had only 1 strap attachment to the helmet.The helmet construction is a bit lighter than my HJC but that makes it more comfortable for me on longer rides.Its not one of those thin Non-DOT approved type helmets you see riders using these days.Over all I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend this to other riders.

Got my Core cruiser shortie today and put 130 miles on my 1997 Honda Valkyrie, with stock windshield and pipes that are a little too loud. Buffeting and noise are totally acceptable. Was using my Shoei RF 1100 full faced with ear plugs and was having a miserable time with exhaust noise and buffeting. I’m 70 yrs old and riding since I was a young kid on doodle bugs, and must say this inexpensive helmet is really made nicely and good quality. Would have given it 5 stars but the double D ring fastener on chin strap needs a little more refinement. Would definitely buy again. The size is accurate to the measuring table, Fits great

I got this helmet for riding my motoped around the neighborhood, with some light/easy trail riding, and I like it. Although I wouldn't use it on the highway with my bigger bikes (I wear a full face helmet for that), it's nice and light with exceptional ventilation at the motopeds' lower speed. I have a 23 1/4 inch circumference head, and usually wear a large, so I ordered a large and it fits well.

Overall the helmet fits well. The liner seems pretty thin and not sure what the quality of the liner material is like. But it is comfortable, fits well. The finish has a few swirls in it, but waxed it seems to have helped. Definitely seems worth the low cost.

Helmet seemed to be well made and relatively lightweight but it was too big to use. I measured very carefully and ordered per the size chart in the item description so I had to return it.

Love it

Early delivery and a quality product. I liked the fact that soft covers were put on the helmets for shipping.

very good and confortable, this was a great buy

Great fit, great price, and fast delivery. I read some reviews on this helmet and didn’t know if I should order it or not, I took a chance, and I think it’s perfect. The fit is 100% and I don’t even know it’s on my head. I don’t have one complaint. My buddies saw it and want to order one. Thanks!!

Great fit
