Default Cool and unique helmets?

I stumbled on a very cool and unique looking helmet. More sport bike than harley I guess but definitely unique. Any one else own, or have seen pics of any other unique helmets?

Definitely unique. Cannot decide if they are cool or ugly. Maybe both.

It's fighter pilot style. I kinda like it. Even has two faceshields, a clear and just behind it a tinted that can retract up/down. Here's a few pics w riders wearing it:

I put my highest emphasis on a helmet having passed Snell approval testing. Looks are much further down the list. If one is going to bother wearing a helmet, might as well wear one that has been proven to meet high protection standards. And some of the tested and approved helmets aren't all that expensive.... start at around 125 bucks.

Yea we get that, but starting a thread on safest helmets wouldn't be as interesting to read...
