Got this e-mail below from Jafrum today. Jafrum has been documented for selling fake DOT helmets. This is the second recall in 2 years. They even sell fake leather (PVC) documented on other forums. What's crazy it's the same helmets again series 100, they knowingly sell faulty DOT half helmets and put riders at risk.
