Toast Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 My BD Halfdome took a seroius hit from a falling chunck of ice in Lillooet. Hardest impact I have sustained...ever...saw stars. But the helmet didn't crack and I was otherwise impressed. I am glad I wasn't wearing a foam helmet, people say they can absorb just as much if not more impact, but I'm just not so sure. Anyway, I agree with Dru, hlemets crack, they should be considered disposable. Take a look inside your Half Dome... foam. I hope you've retired your helmet. Quote
Dru Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 has to be something under the helmet worth saving to make it worthwhile to retire it Quote
Climzalot Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Heres what mine looks like after it took a shot in 15 degree temps last spring. Dont mind the ugly guy wearing it. Quote
sobo Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 Damn! Check out those 'brows! Do ya gotta shave the middle a lot? Quote
Climzalot Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 Do you consider twice a day a lot? Just kidding. Surprisingly never. They are large but well behaved brows. Thanks for noticing. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 Sounds like a piece of crap helmet. Make sure you tell bd that so they take action. Bummer. Quote
David_Parker Posted February 7, 2004 Author Posted February 7, 2004 Just wanted to report that I felt like I received top quality customer service from BD. I exchanged a few emails with a guy who seemed genuinely concerned and wanted to see the helmet. He sent me a new one, even before receiving the old one. They passed each other in the mail. Anyone who has a bad experience with BD customer service must be starting off on the wrong foot, maybe taking to much of an attitude they "owe" you something. I have never had a bad experience with them and so will continue to buy their gear as a result. Quote
