New Castle Schooling Helmet
English Chaps/Boots/Helmets
Manufacturer: Aegis
Model: New Castle Schooling Helmet
Category: English Chaps/Boots/Helmets
Purchase: I bought this helmet at CM Tack in Kansas City for around $50.
Likes: This helmet is cool and pretty comfortable to wear. The zipper adjustment is easy to deal with.
Dislikes: The harness straps have twisted beyond help. The plastic parts designed to join the two straps coming from the helmet into one strap going into the buckle are even inverted. They slide down while I'm riding even. I don't think this effects the safety of the helmet, but it is certainly annoying. I've looked to see if I can take them out and re-thread the whole thing, but I can't figure out how to do that. Also, it sits up on my head quite a bit (not low profile!) which looks a little dorky I think.
Quality: Other than the strap issues, it seems to be well made. Its shiny outside is all scuffed, but it lives a hard life getting banged around.
Summary: Not my favorite helmet, but it does the job is is supposed to.
