30-Day Money Back Guarantee

If it doesn’t deliver on fit, comfort, and everyday wear — you get a full refund, instantly.

Your purchase gives back — every ALR order helps provide life-saving nutrition to children in need, reaching 26.5 million people via Action Against Hunger.

Is it actually DOT legal?

Yes. This is a DOT rated shell, not a novelty lid. It carries the certification on the shell and is legal to ride in states with a helmet law.

Will it fit my head?

Read this before you order: this helmet runs large. Measure around your head about an inch above your ears and go by the size chart. If you land between two sizes, take the smaller one. Ordering your usual size without measuring is the single most common reason one of these comes back.

Is it heavy on a long ride?

No. It is a low profile half shell, so there is far less weight and far less wind lever on your neck than a full face. That is the whole point of this shape.

Can I fasten it with gloves on?

Yes. The quick release buckle is built to work one handed, so you are not peeling a glove off at every stop.

Is it noisy at speed?

Honestly, yes — any open face helmet is. Your ears are exposed, so above about 50 mph you get real wind noise. Most riders in this style wear earplugs or a face mask and consider it part of the deal. If silence matters more to you than the look, a full face is the better buy.

What if it does not fit when it arrives?

Send it back. You get a 30 day risk free trial — if the fit is wrong or you are not happy with it, we refund you.

    THE LOOK I WAS AFTER

    Sits low and tight the way a German lid should. No mushroom head, no wobble at speed. It finished the whole bike.

    THE BUCKLE ACTUALLY WORKS

    Quick release means one hand with gloves on. Sounds small until you are fumbling with a D-ring at every stop.

Comfort That Survives a Long Day

Padded interior lining spreads the load instead of creating hot spots over your ears and forehead. That is the difference between a lid you wear and one that lives on your sissy bar.

The lightweight shell keeps the weight off your neck on a five-hour run.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this helmet DOT approved?

Yes. The shell carries a DOT rating, so you get certified protection under the classic German silhouette.

How do I pick my size?

Measure the circumference of your head about an inch above your eyebrows and ears, then match it to the size chart. Sizes run M through XXL.

Is it heavy on a long ride?

No. The lightweight shell is one of the main reasons riders choose a half helmet for all-day runs.

What is the difference between gloss and matte?

Only the finish. Gloss gives a deep shine that shows off a clean build, matte keeps the lid understated.

Can I add a visor or peak?

Yes. Snap fittings along the edge accept a visor or peak so you can change the look.

Does it fit over glasses or goggles?

Yes. A half helmet leaves your face open, so glasses and goggles both work with it.

How does the strap fasten?

A quick-release buckle that you can open and close one-handed with gloves on.

Will it stay put at highway speed?

The low-profile shell sits close to the head, so it does not catch wind or lift the way a taller shell does.

How should I clean it?

Wipe the shell with a damp cloth and mild soap. Let the lining air dry fully before your next ride.

How long does shipping take?

Every order ships with fast tracked shipping and is covered by our 30 day money back guarantee.
