Skid Lid Original Helmet

I wanted a smaller, lighter weight helmet for the summer months. Quality and fit are great, also has plenty of padding inside, but its larger I expected. I was hoping it was the same size as my old one in the photo on the right.

There really isn't much else to say about it. It's light weight, I can wear it for long rides and it is still comfortable. Yes, there is a little bit of the mushroom head thing going, but you will get that with any DoT approved helmet. That being said, this is probably the most low profile helmet I have owned that is still DoT approved.

Years of searching for the right half helmet and I think I have finally surrendered. The Skid Lid is well made, good fit but still sits a little high on the head. A quick release and at least some padding on the chin strap would have made a nicer experience.

Fits is good, weight is nice and they seem well made. Best price and value I found.

It's suppose to be a skid lid nice and skinny but it sits on my head like a giant elephant and looks horrible. It is about as big as the tank on my motorcycle

I had a Skid Lid a few years back that mysteriously disappeared from my bike. It fit fine with minimal "mushroom" head. My wife has a Street Steel that fits just as good: Comfortable, stays in place and has a low profile on her head. I bought this one thinking it would fit just as well. WRONG! It's obvious they added more padding to the crown which raises the helmet off your head. It also seems like they changed the strap geometry because when you tighten the chin strap, it shifts the whole helmet over. On most helmets, the D-ring is about level with the lowest part of the triangle on the other side. This one's about 2 inches off. Not at all a good fit. Had I kept the box it came in (I'm still kicking myself), this would be going back and I would be on my way to a local shop to find one I liked. Unfortunately I'm stuck with it. At least until it disappears too.

Comfort and Style

I like the way it fits on my head and looks. The only thing I didn't like was the strap on the right side touches my ears and makes it slightly uncomfortable. The left side fits perfect without touching the ears. But over all. I like my product.
