Default Novelty Helmets

I want to get a new novelty helmet. I would like to get on that sits low closer to my eyes. It seems like most of them show off my forehead. Anyone else have this problem or have suggestions on a lower fitting brand. A buddy of mine said he saw a dude with a polo model and wore it backwards. What do you guys like and wear.

I used to wear my polo backwards until I got a ticket for it. That is the way to go.

Carbon fiber jockey helmets... But most DOT helmets look dorky, safety against looks... I bet on safety.

Dammit, Mimo. You beat me to it.

This is about as close to your eyes as you can get.

Hey Danny, yo forgot the seller's item description, LOL... funny specially the last two lines...



For all you chopper diehards or weekend riders, this is a way to make yourself look cool while wearing your helmet ('cause it's the law and it protects your skull). While it will definitely improve your manliness while riding your chopper, bicycle or whatever else, it will make other drivers think twice before f---ing with you. In the words of one of our customers, "This bad *** looking helmet will scare the crap out of any onlooker while you’re enjoying you mid day cruise. Not only is it light weight, but it's very comfortable inside, and has a lot of breathing space."

This is not a D.O.T Certified helmet.

Available in all sizes XS-XXL. Please refer to the Size Chart page for your size.

DO NOT BUY THIS HELMET IF YOU ARE A NEW RIDER!!!


Price: $169.00


Mimo.

This place has novelty helmets, plus small DOT carbon/kevlar helmets: http://www.carbonfiberbikerhelmets.com/dot.htm

I wear a novelty beanie myself, but just remember the saying: A $10 helmet for a $10 head.

I got a big grape so any DOT on my head looks like a UFO has landed and it impedes my riding blasts my head like a bobble head toy- so I ride with a flamed novelty helmet because its safer for me- unless I go onto base then its the big Astro helmet
