RE: Coolest DOT approved helmet?
I wear one of my four FF helmets on my ZX6R (KBC Stealth, HJC FS-10 with internal sunshield, Simpson Bandit, Icon Alliance) but on the Harley I wear an H-D Spoileror an HCI Carbon like the one above. The HCI polo is the best looking half helmet IMO. And those retro 3/4s look as goofy now as they did back in the sixties.

I agree. I think the simpson helmets are cool. I got one and had it customized.

In sportbike riding position, the Bandit's vision is a little moreobscured by the top edge than the others. This is NOT an issue on a Harley. Also, the open vent slots might not be a good thing if you ride in cold weather. I like Simpsons for their quality of construction, but as a street motorcycle helmet they are not as refined as KBC, HJC, Shoei and Arai. My full-face choice of the ones I have is KBC Stealth for fit, comfort and ventilation system (with no leaks around shield). But the semi-auto sunshield feature on the new HJC FS-10 is the ****.

I half a ACC half helmet that works just fine, when I wear it. But, IMO, the coolest looking helmet out there is the Nolan N-42. It is a 3/4 helmet that has to shields on it. A full cover clear shield, and a half tinted one. Never have to worry about changing out shields for day and night riding. I don't own one, but I do like the looks. Kind of pilot looking. http://www.nolanhelmets.com/n42ncom.htm
