^^ I never said that its a bad helmet.

@Cool: if its not the rubber finish one like that of Zyan then nothing to worry but if its rubber finish like that of Dipu then as i said 6 months down the line it will look horrible. Dipanka aka RX can vocuh for this.

Bro, the helmet had a DOT rating so i took it without any doubts on the brand. Hope it does the job well.

The aerodynamic feel, the anti glare visor and customisable vents are real good. I took it for a spin, a Jetta and me went flatout and even at 115 my head was fine with absolutely NIL wind noise.

Bro, i didnt buy that helmet. Would prefer to stay away from such things in India. Yeah, the shop guy breathed out and it opened/closed nicely. Had a build in motor. Was a chinese co.

Thanks yaar, sad NEWS- mine is with rubber coating and its giving me goosebumps now. Anyway tio keep it intact? Wax polish or something?
The helmet is real nice which i can confirm after a nice 100+ sprint.

If it gets dull now, let it be. Cant do anything. Cant stop going out fearing it might lose its shine.
What about those CROSS helmets here? Most have the rubber finishing or is it called matte finishing or are they the same thing.
Also, my travel is daily between 6-8 Pm when sun is gone so a bit extended life.
If it goes bad then maybe time to change or customised paint

^^Chinese helmets and their Standardisation, but lets not get into that.

Matte finish and rubber finish are different things, the only similarity is that both finishes dont have shiny outlook.

Yeah they dont have shiny outlook. I didnt bought the shiny paint finish because i though it will prone to hell lot of scratches when you keep them at metro station parkings etc and will look dull after 6-7 moths like my Studds got scratched.

Hope DOT keeps a good standard in checking helmets, wanna make sure my head is safe, dont care about other things

Sir I mean that if he park his bike in the sun then don't forget to take his helmet with him.Some put there helmet on helmet lock. they don't care that how much it cost or what ever... this way he can save his helmet from sun.
