Opinions on simpson helmets?

[flyer]

Id like to hear the thoughts of people that have owned or tried them, or know people that have. I love the way they look, and although they arent specific bike helmets, am taking it that they are super solid lids. Are they comfy???

I need a new lid so need to decide quick.

Does anyone know how the new helmet rating will effect things when it comes in?

Thanks in advance

There not legal for the uk as they haven't passed eu safety standards.

Im not sure on the newer ones.

But i heard the older ones where only done to pass the usa test. dot is it ?

There a few other company's who make helmets that look like simpson style. Crafts one.

I know they pass FIA guide lines but I don't know if that counts on uk legal territory.

Simpson Bandits should only be worn if you have a streetfightered GSXR and raz around like a hooligan wearing jeans, a paddock jacket and Raebok classics.

I had one of the originals. It was very comfy but bloody noisy.
