vcan helmets

[peterpan]

does anyone have an opinion on the Vcan helmets espeacially the v100 and v130 style road helmet?

They're cheap...so they must be shit.

They're allright so long as you don't care if the strap doesn't stay tight.

Saving up for a new one different brand currently.

I've got a Vcan V100. It's not bad, no problems with the chin strap (triple chin helps) and it's pretty darn comfy. Problem is, it's as loud as fuck when the speed gets up - a 4 hour squirt down to Kauaia and back had my ears ringing like the morning after a Slayer concert. Now I wear ear tampons, so all is fine. In retrospect I should have gone for a Nitro or lower end Nolan helmet I guess, but the reality is they're a fine buy at the price. If only I could buy some Arai stickers to hide my low-budget shame.....

They're good for a first helmet or for a spare...but thats it.
I had a VCAN(not sure what model) for my first helmet cause i was after a cheap helmet...they're noisy, dont fit well(for my head) and are particularly bad at fogging up....but its cheap.
I upgraded within 3 months to an HJC CL14...which is still a cheap helmet but is a far far better package for the money (got mine from motormail outlet which helped alot)

you get what you pay for
