OT: motorcycle helmets
From : azwiley1
Q: hey gang i know this is ot but i throw this out there to all that ride bike and even those that dont as i value the thoughts and opinions of most in here i have a question for you all about helmets. though my helmet was fitted properly i still have a little problem with the chin strap as it cuts down into my throat as opposed to being under the chin. it is so bad that it chokes me and i dont wear it. i have been thinking about having the single under chin strap replaced with a double strap over/under strap from a military issue kevlar hemlet. having spent 16 years wearing one in the army i know how secure and stable then are when worn properly. anyone see any feasability or flaws in this idea .

well id expect an insurance compnay to jump at the opportunity to deny a claim if you modify the straps. while we agree other straps may be as good or even better....theyll use that to get out of a payout imo. -- ------------------------------------------ laszlo almasi ----cool toys formerly carolina watercraft works ----mack daddy trailers ----ice angels hey gang i know this is ot but i throw this out there to all that ride bike and even those that dont as i value the thoughts and opinions of most in here i have a question for you all about helmets. though my helmet was fitted properly i still have a little problem with the chin strap as it cuts down into my throat as opposed to being under the chin. it is so bad that it chokes me and i dont wear it. i have been thinking about having the single under chin strap replaced with a double strap over/under strap from a military issue kevlar hemlet. having spent 16 years wearing one in the army i know how secure and stable then are when worn properly. anyone see any feasability or flaws in this idea .
