User questions & answers

Question:	How much does this helmet weigh
Answer:	yes
Question:	How do I measure my head to get the right size ? “ middle forehead to above ears
Answer:	I really don't know. I have had some slip and falls in wet or snowy conditions, but never been in an accident with a car or where I got struck in the face by anything other than small rocks or pebbles. The face shield deflected those.
Question:	Do you have free returns
Answer:	That depends on how big his head is. Buying a helmet is like buying a hat. It's all about size and fit.
Question:	Where is this made
Answer:	Yes! The screws on both sides are easy to remove. Slip the shield out and put them back in. Simple.

Answer:	If I remember correctly, unless you speak Chinese don't even try for a refund, just sayin.
Question:	Can the helmet be returned or exchanged if the wrong size
Answer:	HiYou can see the sizing chart in the pictures. If you know your fitted baseball cap size you can use that to see what size you are. Otherwise you should have someone measure the circumference of your head where a bandana would sit. It's best to have someone measure you and not do it yourself which will usually result in a mismeasurement.

Product description

BikerAccess has made multiple changes over the years to be able to design this killer looking helmet.

Make sure your purchasing a BikerAccess helmet to get the best light weight novelty helmet with a low profile look.

If it doesnt have a BikerAccess Rivet as shown in the pictures then its not a BikerAccess helmet.

BikerAccess has designed an internal cushion with minimal padding while still creating a suction type feeling and allowing the helmet to sit low on your head. This helmet will not ride up when your riding!

There are many helmets on the market with plastic clips that break. Some of them will have crappy cushions inside that makes the helmet sit high on the head and or the helmet sloshes around easily making for a terrible fit.

Some of them will weigh over 3 pounds. Which will hurt your neck.

BikerAccess helmets are roughly 1-1.5 pounds

What Size Do I Need?

Take measurement with cloth tape measure. Keep the tape measure straight from front to back of head. Measure right above your eye brows. Keep in mind that everyone's head-shape is different. If you happen to fit between two sizing brackets, it is better to go to the higher sizing bracket. See images above for sizing chart.

Please note: This item is NOT certified by DOT and is not intended to be used as a safety equipment. This helmet is not designed to provide much if any protection to the head.

• Light weight fiber glass shell (NOT plastic like others are selling).
• Motorcycle helmet with Y-strap, padded chin strap, Quick-Release (Ratchet Clip) Super Strong!
• Comfortable Liner (Minimal Cushion) Low Profile Helmet
• Cushioned inside liner creating a nice suction so helmet wont ride up
• Not Dot Approved (Not meant for safety)

Question:	How do you measure for helmet size
Answer:	Yes, it does come with the shield. However, I have not used the shield. I have wrap around sunglasses that take care of the sunlight. Like any open face helment, the wind can be a problem starting at about 60 mph so keep the chin strap snug. I do believe it is the latest model. I really like this helmet. Its light, looks good, and keeps the noise down. Good luck.
