looking to buy one... Any comments? Do they run small? Are they worth the cash?

Judy (her screen name too) has one.

I'm sure she'll chime in, from what I've read I think she loves it.

I was just going to type the same thing. Judy loves hers and I drool over it...I'm saving. Here is a link to another post that mentioned Ruby helmets earlier this week:

My wife has a Ruby helmet that you can see in the avatar. It fits her perfectly and she loves it. I tried a few Ruby's on and they did not fit my head shape. I have an oblong shaped head and she has a round head. I suggest that you try a variety of helmets on for comfort and safety.

Frankly, I find all precious stone-encrusted helmets a bit ostentatious, but to each his own...

Thanks guys and i'm finally up.drinking my morning coffee at the computer. SLOJOE that helmet albeit a ruby is hideous. Some of their helmets i wouldn't buy because their fur lined on the outside and i don't like the color etc, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say. SANJOE i absolutely LOVE mine. It's very light (carbon) and has lots of padding and i really can't hear anything when i have it on. No need for earplugs. Also a lot of padding and a great warranty. It has vents so even with the leather interior it's not hot ( i live in Hawaii so i know hot). I don't have a visor/face shield on mine but i think it's the Belvidere line that has 3 removable visors with one being tinted. If you can try them on do because they run small. Don't go by their sites measurements because according to them i'd wear a S and i have a M that just fits. You have a few places that sell them out in cali and could probably special order any one you wanted. They'll do a custom one if you want also but i'd hate to see the cost on that one Most of their line is not that much more than some of the top of the line helmets. I got mine because i liked it,not to impress anybody etc. The company is a stand up one. There was something that was supposed to come with mine and i emailed France to tell them i didn't get it and within a few days i had it rushed delivered no questions asked. Go for it if you have the money, there well worth it. Go for it.Here's a pic of what mine looks like. Good luck
