    Bad Points: Two minor issues:
    1) Price. At $520.00 This bad boy is expensive but you get what you pay for. Price shopping on the Internet is the best way to get a good price.
    2) The vents on the helmet are basically for show. They are ineffective.


    General comments: Just received my special order metallic blue Simpson Diamondback helmet. This is one awesome looking helmet. The Dupont paint finish is outstanding. The helmet is also very comfortable to wear and lightweight. The Carbon-X lining is soft and the cheek pads seem to be some sort of memory foam. The helmet fits like a glove and feels very secure on my head. The decent sized eyeport provides a great view which eliminates having to turn your head too far to the right or left. I have not used this helmet in a car yet but I did try it out on my motorcycle and found it to be very quiet and stable no matter which direction I turned my head. There was absolutely no buffeting. This is all probably due to the raised diamond design sculped into the helmet shell. The thick shield is optically correct and has detents to allow it to remain in a couple of different positions. There is also a felt lining around the rubber eyeport. Regardless of the size you choose, the shell on this helmet is large and fully covers your head, The chin bar is huge and provides excellent coverage below your chin. Overall, I am very happy with this helmet and would buy another one in a heartbeat.
    If you are looking for something different, this is a great helmet. There is definitely nothing else out there that looks like it. I am currently waiting on a tinted sheld which will give it an even more menacing look.
    With regard to size, I've noticed with the past couple of Simpsons that I have owned that they seem to run 1/8th size smaller. I normally wear a 7 in helmets but 7 1/8 was a perfect fit in this helmet.

    Just purchased a Simpson Diamondback helmet in metallic blue. These helmets are Snell SA2005 rated with a nomex interior. Helmets are made to order meaning that my helmet wasn't sitting on a shelf in some warehouse, it was manufactured after the order was placed. The manufacture sticker inside the helmet is dated.
