I live in Japan and here you can purchase a line or Arai helmet they don't seem to offer in the states. They are 3/4 jet helmets in a vintage cut. I've looked at the Arai US web site and don't even list them. Mine is great, but it's coming up on 4yrs old. At work now, when I get home I'll post photos.
UPDATE:
I found pictures on-line. I'm only able to find it on .jp sites, as I said I think it's only avail here in Japan. Great comfort, wind noise & buffering isn't too bad until around 50-60 mph, but of course everybody has a different threshold.

It's nice to watch the look on some peoples faces when they see you wearing it. I just get tired of the same old thing and don't have to impress anyone but me.
Bought the same helmet brand new on E-Bay for $15.50. Nobody bid against me. The shipping was $25. I have it in flat black. It is a great helmet that I wear on windy days or very long rides. I have my other two half helemts for the bar hopping. Oh yeah it's DOT.
Not to hi-jack the thread, but, has anyone used this helmet? (Vemar Jiano Bluetooth Helmet) If so, how well does it work for you? Seems pricey for a lid, but the stereo function to listen to my tunes and ability to use the cell seems attractive on long rides.
