Nice Helmet
I have been wearing a 1/2 helmet for years and decided to go back to a 3/4 helmet. I have been wearing a medium, but the size chart said I should wear a large, I took a chance, ordered it and it fit perfectly. Nice comfortable helmet, not to heavy and it looks good too.

Great Helmet
I've owned several 3/4 helmets over the past 10 years. This is the first that had removable washable liner and dropdown shield. Both are excellent elements of this helmet. I have a somewhat oval head the the Medium fit true to size based on the listed fitment measurements. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Stylish value! But noisy...
I have had this helmet for a month, logging 5K on my HD Electra Glide. The fit and finish is nice, the removable parts convenient for cleaning etc. It is a 2xl and snug. (I wear a 75/8 hat.The visor is sweet!
The downside is this helmet is noisy. Anything that hits it twangs like a rock hitting metal. Also, the helmet is thick. My wonderful passenger said it sits high, hard to see over. I have had a few HJC's (and wish I could find an open face HJC like my 2003ish model), Shoei's, Nolan's and yes the occasional HD helmet. And it is hot, needs air vents as the helmet fits snugly (comfortable but...) For the money it looks great and feels good enough. I would not recommend it though if you hate noisy helmets!
Anyway, my 2 cents.

Great helmet.
It looks good. It feels good and the price is right. I know it sounds like I'm describing a pros-ti-tu-te but I'm not. I highly recommend this helmet to anyone who likes the vintage look.

Very good half helmet for the money
It is a very well put together helmet, it fits to size and does not look too large on the head. I have found it to be quite comfortable for up to 2 hour rides. The internal sun visor deploys positively and was easy to find with one hand without having tested it before a ride. The sun visor comes down far enough to be useful where other brands make them too short. Cons, it is loud, but it is a half helmet. When the sun visor is deployed it directs even more aggressive airflow into the shell and past your ears increasing the volume by double. I would say that the sun visor in my case would only be used at city cruising speeds unless I had earplugs in.

Easy as pie
I orderd two different styles of helmet not really know which style would fit my weird shaped head. The one out of the two the fit the best was the Burnout. Fortnine was great with the return. Printed out the lable and used the same box. I kept the burnout and have been using it for a few weeks now. The weather is really cold and I can say that it is a very warm helmet. Everything works great -visor and the ear padding comes in and out no problem. The pad look great in. The helmet is a little tight getting on but it is getting easier every time. Great Burnout for the buck! And great customer service with Fortnine!!! 3rd helmet orderd and on the way.

Great Quality, watch out for the sizing
Very good quality and features for the price. Sun visor works good and has two positions, in respect to those with biiiiig noses (my case;), lineer is removable and washable. It looks coll, this stile matches perfectly with nakeds, vintages, choppers, etc.. It is noisy as any other open helmet is, but nothing that a simple erar plug could not solve. The only issue is the sizing, I've been using very different helmets brands and stiles for decades, and this was the first time that I had to return due to sizing, it is really really tight, so just go one size up from what you are used too and you will be good to go.
