I ve heard good things on that helmet, no usa importers that i know of. Dirtbike bitz.com has them though. size charts are on the web also.

I heard that they can't pass Us testes. So you can't race them and insuranceproblem maybe? Anyone knows any real facts?

Does nt Musquin and Alessi wear them? I guess they would have to have passed some tests?

Alessi is wearing them they are the lightest helmet on the market and I believe made in Italy so they look as good as arai or shoie to me.

Any helmet sold in the US has to have a DOT approved sticker, since I don't believe Airoh Helmets do not have a distributor here (yet) they haven't tried to get that done. Also I believe as long as they pass the other tests like what the AMA & FIM require your good to go, you just can't buy one here.

Hi There,

If you have any questions about fitment just let me know as Airoh's generally have a more tapered (snug) fit...

Cheers, Mark Smile

I would like to purchase one of your helmets, but I am concerned about sizing. What if I order from you and it doesnt fit properly? I have credit card in hand, give me guidance.

Thanks,
Wade

So, how many participants would we need and how much per helmet?

rough estimates work for me...

I have got my Airoh Aviator Monster Energy recently. It is indeed very light and with excellent ventilation, seats perfect.

Would like to warn those who plans to buy it - choose one size less. Cheak pads shrink after a couple of washes !! I had to change from L to M, thanks to my friends who told me about this issue

Great point Huch!, The Aviators are a great fit and especially after a couple of washes!

Btw, thank you guys for the excellent service (sorry for hidden advertising) :-) It was nice and easy to buy gear in your store
