It is not much fun to crash in one though, the extended chin will snap your head back, you really need to wear a neck brace as well.

I haven't got one myself, but a friend of mine does. The main peroblem is they aren't designed for the speeds you'll be hitting on the road Confused

Rain pours in, the wind whistles so loudly you can't hear much else, BUT, you do look cool and that's all that matters. Right? Cool

Seems to be the ped boi fashion at the moment, but I wouldn't want one personally.
