Very happy.March 23, 2010 Jeaux(Florida) For the money these are some wonderful helmets. I did notice a bit of wind noise on my last long ride, but considering I usually wear a half helmet, these are great for the money.

Cheap Modular HelmetDecember 3, 2009 Joseph A. Clark(Dallas) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have had this helmet for a while now. Very comfortable. It breathes well. Fits perfect. But when the face is flipped up it kind of makes you look like Dark Helmet from SpaceBalls. (very wide). For the price this helmet can't be beat. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because when I got it the top plastic vent was broken and I had to super glue it back on.
Good for the priceMay 21, 2009 DG(Brookline, Mass) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Good helmet for the price.
it has been good for a while, but now the modular piece doesnt stay up and can go all the way back....
But it was a great deal for the money
Terrible flip-up constructionApril 28, 2009 V. Fabro(columbus, ohio United States) 18 out of 19 found this review helpful
I bought this helmet on LeatherUp.com, and given all the 5-star reviews there I'll be surprised if my review doesn't get pulled from the site. But I thought I'd better warn people with my experience.
I bought 2 of these helmets last July, using 1 as my main helmet and another for the wife who's only rode with me a few times. This April, almost 9 months later, my helmet's flip-up joints stopped working correctly, so that the face shield won't stay up on its own (i.e. you flip it up and it falls right back down). Not a problem, since I had my wife's helmet. I used that for a couple of weeks, and then the bolt that holds the flip-up module to the helmet popped out, stripped threads.
I called LeatherUp about this, and of course there's only a 30-day warranty. I asked if they had spare parts so I could repair it. They asked me to email them a detailed explanation of what's wrong, with pictures. So I removed the flip-up face shields from the helmets and was stunned by the dangerously flimsy construction. There are copper/brass bolts that hold the flip-up module to the helmet, and those screw into a nut inside the helmet that only has about 2 rows of threads to screw into; 3 of the 4 bolts on the 2 helmets had already pulled out of those threads! That same copper/brass bolt is a cylinder so that another bolt can screw into it. The threads inside the cylinder were almost entirely stripped on 3 of the 4 bolts! It's amazing that the flip-up module was still attached to either helmet! In addition, there's a plastic "arm" attached at the same bolt, and it has the stops that hold the flip-up module up when you raise it. The "arms" are made of extremely thin plastic, and (once again) 3 out of the 4 arms on the 2 helmets were broken! After seeing the construction of these helmets I am absolutely stunned that no one else has posted similar problems!
Now to be fair, the helmets are definitely cheap, but they're built so cheaply that I question their DOT certification. Also on the positive side the helmets fit me very well and were surprisingly quiet. But I now have no confidence whatsoever in the Hawk line of helmets.
