It's ECE rated as an open face, so some protection. THe chin straps are just cosmetic, but tehy do loook cool, especially the gas mask styled oned.

That is such a lovely shade of olive drab...I don't see the mounting area for the boom mike or ear speakers. I think this helmet is much better for a bike.

And it's DOT approved.

Ive seen those helmets in person... wind noise and wind turbulence are a set back... another complaint is your eyes get teary and you are unable to wipe due to the visor lock. Real fighter pilot helmets are to be worn in a environmentally sealed capsule, not in open wind and are better designed; what makes this one any better? Yeah, it's cool looking, that's about it...

The fighter trike is still cruising on and off Vance AFB OK, but he wears a regular MC helmet.
