your not wanting to ware that as a bike lid are you?

I have that exact one.

First off: They are NOT a protective motorcycle helmet and will do nothing for you in a crash other than prevent scuffing of your head(if it stays on).

They are made of a single layer of fibreglass with a leather lining. The lining is adjustable so one size fits all, the chin strap is held in place with a hook and catch.

It is a pilots helmet when you come down to it, and is there to protect your face and head from light debris if your cockpit canopy breaks.

They are extremely riteous though, if you buy one I bet you land up wearing it round the house. I am going to be wearing mine on my 100cc bike but in the certain knowledge that it is no use whatsoever as a crash helmet. If a policeman looked at it closely, you would be done, it is not kite-marked.

They do arrive though, and they do come from China.

It actually looks like it would do more damage than good.
The slightest knock and I can see that visor cracking and carving great chunks out of your face.

Looks good though.

Eli, you would look like Penelope Pitstop if you wore that helmet!

Was going to post the image but decided not to...

Thats why i don't want to buy a flip-up lid, as i'd be tempted to lift it at low speed.

the picutre of "the guy witht he detonator in his teeth" and "shotgun suicide failure" and god knows how many other names this comes under is a faked image, you can easily fake these images on a computer with something as little as photoshop (my college tutor can do much more and much worse than that picture too!)

I take it this is the helmet, still probaly would not were it on the bike though running around the house singing "highway to the danger zone" is another matter
