  • I’d stay away. I checked HNJ’s website to see if they’ve tested those helmets with gimmicky ears (they also do horns and batman apparently). They’ve published zero testing for safety, wind resistance, or anything at all related to those ears.

    I wouldn’t trust the single most important piece of safety gear to a company like that. Go with a more reputable brand, and take the other commenter’s suggestion to attach foam ears if you really need that aesthetic.

    Simply put, it’s just not worth the risk.

    Many many moons ago, I was in highschool and somehow got my hands on a Gevalia coffee catalog. They were offering a free coffee maker with a subscription of coffee. The first coffee shipment of the subscription was free (along with the coffee maker), you just had to pay shipping. And you could cancel any time. So I ordered the subscription, got my two bags of coffee and a coffee maker for about $10 in shipping charges, then immediately canceled.

    I don’t remember much about the coffee, but that dang coffee maker followed me through high school, college, and a good decade beyond that. It wasn’t particularly great, just a regular drip coffee maker, but it lasted forever. I’ll never forget that thing.
