Question Stand21 made to measure helmet

Has anyone purchased a 'made to measure' Stand 21 helmet?

A MADE-TO-MEASURE HELMET
Your helmet must fit you properly. That’s why more and more helmets are made-to-measure and with your colors
Send us 3 pictures of your head (face and profiles), as well as your head circumference to stand21@stand21.fr
Your Stand 21 advisor will contact you.


I'm thinking of getting a new helmet soon, to replace my OMP Gran Tourismo and was considering the F21 double duty.

How close can they come to your head shape with that info? Just curious.

I was going to get one,

they basically take photographs of your head along with measurements. I think only the dealers can do it, they then proceed to out fit the Size A or Size B shells

My head is way too big, thus I cannot fit the heltmets, if not I would totally go for it.

A buddy of mine has one. When you get it they give you different thickness pads that tear in and out to adjust for perfect fit. It is a fine item. The thing weighs less than the helmet bag I have! But, I passed, the $1200.00+ was too much for amateur use. If I drove with a helmet everyday or for a living it would be worth it. Went with a Bell kevlar M3 helmet -very happy and around $450.00.

Just get a regular helmet from them of the best fitting size and then you just replace the replaceable and washable paddings for thicker/thinner ones as needed.
Santd21 are the bes lightweight helmets (mass produced) you can get...

Did you ever have it painted outside of factory and made sure that the painter did not wipe the chins strap mount down with cleaning chemicals?
