Skid Lid Original Helmet

This helmet was exactly as expected with fast shipping.

Comfort and Style

Good helmet for the money but does run a bit small and gives a little mushroom feel/look. Will prob let my wife use the Medium one I got and order another one in Large

From a distance it looks great, but get a little closer & it reminds you of something you see all the time, but what? I ordered this helmet for my husband & he was happily suprised. He tried it on, looks in the mirror and says " Hmm, nice. But I'm allergic to mushrooms".(*That was funny.*)He said "its not quite what I'm looking for, 'close, but no cigar'. Thanks any way."I agree it is nice, but not the one. Plus the fit wasn't right, kinda loose on his head and all his helmets are a sz M. The size i ordered.So, I'm returning it (right after posting this) & continuing the search.

Been wanting a Skid Lid for a long time, it just runs at least 1size tio small.

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.

I really like this helmet but my only issue is I ordered a mat finish and got glossy and once you strap it up it it has loose strap that slaps you wish it had a button to keep it in one place like my full face helmet but in all good helmet

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.

Ok, the original flat black was what I wasn't looking for lol, but the size was dead on! So measure your head & skid lid sizes will fit just fine. Talked to the seller & they were absolutely awesome! Totally went out of their way to make me happy. As you can see in the pic the helmet does sit high but not as bad as the original flat black & this was the one I wanted in the 1st place. That being said, this being my 1st helmet & getting what I actually wanted I was willing to compromise with the medium set heiting on the head. Very comfortable in every way you def will not be disappointed by that in any way. If you're not looking for safety & looking for the novelty look you're not going to find it here. 1st day out & I've received at least 4 compliments.

I bought this helmet to replace the Skid Lid brand helmet I already own.I thought I was getting the same thing but boy was I wrong.My other helmet is a medium so I bought this helmet in large because my hair is longer and I was going to wear a doo rag with it.This helmet crushes my head and sits way too high.

It is a comfortable helmet. But I bought it looking for a low profile helmet based on my buddies older version that looks pretty good. I think the newer models have more padding. Maybe due to new dot regulations or something.

I didn't care for the way it set on my head. Too high.

Item was exactly as described, loved the lightness

This will do, good enough for me and the short/moderate scooter trips I take.Fit: Shape is an intermediate oval, so make sure you wouldn't be better suited with a round or long-oval shaped helmet. Right out of the box, the lining seems to be well made and is moderately comfortable for what is a fairly heavy helmet. Also the XL runs true to size, manufacturer's sizing chart is accurate. Does it "mushroom"? Well, yes, but with an inch and a half of protective material all the way around, I don't know how a DOT helmet could look otherwise.Seller: Shipped reasonably fast, only complaint is that the price tag on the helmet was held on with a cheap adhesive; peeling it off made a mess. Not a big deal on a white helmet but would be an eyesore on black. The "Skid Lid" sticker peeled off easily.

husband needed new helmet we dont really care for them in general but he is partial to the skid lid brand so here it is ,it is a nice glossy black nice this straps like he likes however i did have to order him his little quick release :) and he will be getting all of his stickers for it of course to break it in the only thing he wasnt to keen obout and reason for the 3 stars it has a little bit to much cushion for his liking which raises it to high off his head,i think he is just used to the old skool style but when i put this on i can barely feel it crushing all my 80's hair down so its a plus for me haha i think he will be ok once we get to riding again
