I ordered a Skid Lid from BikeBandit.com on the 19th. It was on a Saturday. The site said that it usually ships in 24 hours. I figured that it would ship out that Monday. It didn't. I thought, it would ship Tuesday because maybe they start the 24 hours on Monday. It didn't. Finally shipped out Wednesday via Fed Ex (doh). I get horrible service from Fed Ex. Finally it shows out for delivery today (10 days later). Guess what? No helmet. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas that keeps getting delayed. Oh well, maybe tomorrow. Just my impatient rant of the day.
I want my Skid Lid Now!! *Sticker Update Pg. 2*

It really really really 
punch ticks me off when a site doesn't ship when then say it will. Higher on the list though is when they won't answer your emails when they are late shipping :violent: If there is a issue, just tell me about it.
An online store only gets one chance with me. There are too many others out there that want my business to put up with that.

Question about the Skid Lid , a guy i work with has one with the quick release snap on it , i only see it hanging on his bike dont want to try it on while he aint looking, haha . From what ive heard others say its not that comfortable , do many of you have one and how well does it fit ? Im currently using a Outlaw brand but like the look of the Skid lid.

Check the NHTSA website (http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/comply/Index.cfm), they weren't too crazy about the U-69 one from '06. Page 30 showed the impact highlight info.aVOL2 said:

Saw that too (didn't pay it that much mind with my helmet either), but it was recalled due to performance failures. That one I pay much more attention to.TATE said:

i've put probably 10k miles on my skid lid...took a bit to work in, and it's very comfortable (my touring helmet)...i wear a size small, and i don't feel it gives me mushroom head.

it's been inspected by local law enforcement, and they accept it as DOT (i did buy the DOT approved model). i find the small harness on it more comfortable over long periods than the larger, more structured one on my HCI 100 series, and it's less noisy as well (less turbulence through the straps).
i'll buy another when this one expires.
cheers!

I have the carbon fiber half helmet, love it. Very comfortable, hardly know I have it on. Wear it all the time, no mushroom head. It isn't cheap, but I think my noggin's worth it. :brick:
