So sure, the helmet is not the most practical for actual wear. Though I think you could easily fix that issue with a few thin strips of foam material from a craft shop. I think this helmet is a blast though! I mostly just leave it sitting around my apartment, it's practically a conversation piece! Now & again it makes for some fun & interesting photos too! I'm not sure why so many reviews for this product around the net were a bit harsh, because I think it rocks for the price! It's pretty durable & made well too, minus a slightly cheap feeling antenna. So I could see it being a bit uncomfy for actual wear, but I think it's a great helmet!
