I have never heard of them, but if what you say about Frank Thomas is correct then they should be quite good.

Theyre part of frank thomas now. Apparantly making helmets since 1946, so why have we never heard of them? Surely after 60 years they must have upped the game slightly.

Oh...and as I used to work as a retailer for FT goods, the new marushin helmets...creak, the screws that hold in the visors snap, and the internal lining falls out as its not held in properly, and ive not seen a single marushin helmet have a properly fitted lining inside, theyre always too big so never fit in properly so fall out.

Only thing theyre good for are the purdy designs.
