Review on GLX GX623 DOT Kids Youth ATV Off-Road Dirt Bike Motocross Helmet Combo With Gloves & Goggles - Camouflage X-Large by Johnathan Rothstein

Revainrating 4 out of 5

As a national sales manager for a branch of HJC. I can tell you that.

I was in the helmet industry for years, traveling to Korea/China/Vietnam etc. for helmet manufacturing. This helmet like most every other helmet in the industry under $500 bucks is junk but works as well as the next. It has crowded upper cheek areas is the only complaint so the goggles as a result as shoved up a bit and sit too high. My kid puts up with it. As for safety, again it's laughable how bad helmet safety is today with all the technology. Here's the bottom line, so long as nobody complains and consumers agree to Styrofoam as the best technology on earth, we'll never get anything better. Lawyers keep things unchanged and the other gimmick stuff like MIPS and such is .a barely measurable improvement. SNELL ratings are mostly a joke, sometimes doing more harm than good and DOT is even worse. ECE is probably the best testing standard and it's nothing to write home about. I've ran this testing equipment myself and was shocked at how poor it is as a standard.

Pros
  • Cosmic peripheral field of vision utilizing a monumentally secured opening. Adjustable shatter resistant visor with high-grade steel screws tested for optimal rooster-tail smut protection, and secure mounting positioning.
Cons
  • The gloves may be difficult to wash and maintain
