I recently crashed and suffered a concussion. My wife isn't going to let me ride again until I get a helmet that protects more of head (I think I hit my temple area in the crash). Do you have any suggestions?

Bill, i like to ride too. I decided to buy this type of helmet because of the same reasons as you now. I wanted to protect more head but wanted something that didnt look dorky but sporty. This helmet protects the back of my head and all around plus it has plenty of ventilation and it looks sporty even with the extra coverage at the back ofthe head. I

I own the Fox Men's Flux Helmet, and I feel it's the best bicycle helmet I ever owned. It covers the back of your head great, and it's lightweight. I would recommend this helmet to protect you from future crashes.

Yes, absolutely. The Jetson goes faster than a bike, thereby increasing risk, so I wear a motorcycle helmet.

I would never guarantee 100% protection. It just helps cushion the impact. We just got them for our whole HS soccer team. The girls complained at first but got use to them fast. My kid has had multiple concussion in the past without product. Hasn't since using but is also more aware to make better choices when to use her head. It can be a reminder to not use head if you don't have to as well.

Nothing can totally prevent concussions. Football helmets, Safer barriers in auto racing, etc. But these things, including this headband, can reduce the change of a concussion. A high forehead to high forehead hit in soccer (not uncommon) will be much less dangerous with this one - and even more so if both players had one on. But at the end of the day it depends on the total energy and direction of hits and while padding will absorb some of the energy, it cannot take all of it. My daughter plays soccer and I got her this after a concussion (and after being cleared to play by doc and by our own observation).

I would look for another option like something designed for a helmet. Some of these comments made me laugh--funny:)

Unfortunately I didn't receive the helmet so I can't answer your question at this time , you might want to try goggling the question to see if someone else can give you the answer you seek.

I just tried fitting w/ my Full face Dual Sport helmet..... not even close. Pudding bowl helmet would fit, however. :-)

Best helmet i ever had for my scooter.Didn't like the adjustable double D ring secured nylon chin strap though which i replaced with this item i got from e bay.http://www.ebay.com/itm/ECHO-HELMET-CHIN-STRAP-QUICK-RELEASE-BUCKLE-BLACK-UNIVERSAL-FIT-/190918726874?pt=Apparel_Merchandise&hash;=item2c73a494da&vxp;=mtr.Perfect

I let my kids use bike helmets. My reasoning is that scooters are not motorcycles and typically go even slower than bikes. You should still check local regulations and of course neither will save you in some accidents.

If it makes you look like a bubble head you probably ordered the wrong size. Mine fits great. Looks smaller than full-face helmet. I'd want a full coverage if I rode a motorcycle at highway speeds, but I ride a Suzuki 700 ATV on desert trails - usually below 25MPH, so the VCAN works well. Warm enough on cold days, and doesn't overheat me in the summer.

I think you might be better off with an actual snowboarding helmet. This helmet has some padding, but not a lot. It also doesn't come down as low in the back and sides as a normal snowboarding helmet.

You could use one of these helmets but it might be to heavy for him so I would recommend a lighter weight one for him like a dirt jump lid I hope this helps you out

Nothting is for sure, but logically from my engineering background anything that slows the rate of deceleration (any type of cushioning will work) will result in less force to the head, whether that is enough to prevent a concussion is unknown to me and has not been proven as far as I know.

Scooter is fine for her. Actually not as fast as it looks. Wear a helmet and have fun.

No the whole helmet regulates the wind very well. Personally though I would go for a different helmet. It was a nice helmet, but not half as nice as my current icon alliance helmet. A little more expensive but defiantly worth it.

They also offer a helmet mount in several variations, I know that is not much help if you already own a mount though. It would not surprise me if they have your mount available and try it out their first. They have done that for me several times.
