The only DOT I have seen that approaches the profile of a novelty helmet is the Head Trip from www.carbonfiberhelmets.com.&nbsp\\; Set you back about 175 or so, but has good reviews (crash, not just looks and comfort).&nbsp\\; I have worn one for about a year and I love it.&nbsp\\; Definitely the lightest DOT I have ever seen.&nbsp\\; Some people think I am BSing them until I show them the DOT sticker and tag in it.
