    only thing that can clip off are the cheek cushions, the rest of the lining looks to be set in behind the plasticbeady thing that goes around the lip. don't wanna start pulling that off if it's not meant to come out?

    Liners don't come out of all the helmets.

    A genuine "Fox" bag? Needs to have Hemex's artistic touch....

    i would not reccomened buying a second hand helmet at all, helmets are designed to take one big hit and thats it,

    also you should try the brand of helmet you are buying on before you commit to one, between brands they vary alot, a ill fitting helmet can be dangerous as well,

    What Scott said, you don't know if a 2nd hand one has been in a crash.

    After reading an article.. http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/ge...iew/index.html
    I won't buy a Snell standards helmet as they can transfer too much force.
    ECE or Dot only standards ftw

    I didn't realise until I had swiped my card and the guy's face dropped and I was like "what, did it decline" and he's like 'nah no worries' and I was like "what" and he was like "oohhhhh forgot to charge you for your helmet" and I was like "oh" and he was like "oh well, too bad" and i said "yeah well i did just spend like over $4000 here" and he was like "true" .... Free helmet.
