I'd leave someone sitting at a gas station if we were leaving and they couldn't get their muzzle attached.

What a stupid f*cking idea.

Half helmet + muzzle + goggles = the ugliest f*cking full face helmet ever

After seing some of the people that ride I might chip in to cover them up.

I agree. It's not even a full faced. That mask doesn't offer added protection. It seems more about posing than utility.

At least the Nolan Trilogy offers added lower jaw protection.

Darth vader face masks, "trilogy"...

I prefer my helmet not have any star wars reference at all.

Reminds me of the "Iron Jaw" we used on 3/4 helmets in the late 70's riding dirt bikes.
Edit to add: I kind of like it.

Not sure how cops can ban a helmet. As long as it's within DOT compliance they can't do squat.

So, what exactly is the benefit to this helmet? A certified half-helmet, with 3/4 coverage, and a plastic "muzzle" for bug protection...

It looks interesting, but I don't see any real reason to have one. If you want a half helmet, there are definitely cheaper helmets, and if you want that kind of coverage, a 3/4 with a shield does it all, and is safer.
