Come on, Barry, they might have it in super size. :eek:

or could it be a prop from an old science fiction movie?

I agree the helmet affords minimal protection in a crash but it is being used by the pilot of a Cassutt racer airplane which have minimal cockpit space, plus the helmet provides the pilot with the least visual restrictions for racing. There appears to be a brand label on it, I just can't read it.

Why would you want to pay $215 for a helmet with no coms and you could do something like this.

New and exclusive to the Hawk lineup, the Advanced Hawk Flat Black Dual Visor Full Face Motorcycle Helmet is the most advanced helmet yet! Loaded to the max with features, this bad boy sports an advanced lightweight durable shell utilizing thermoplastic shell technology, a sleek black modular design, fully vented through-out, an easy detachable front for easy access, an extra clear, anti-scratch visor and quick release visor mechanism. But that's not all! Hawk has introduced it's new dual visor design with this baby! You'll now have an inner dark tinted, aerodynamic visor located behind the front clear visor with an easy-to-locate lift/drop switch located on the left side of the helmet for those extra sunny days on the road. With this helmet, what more could you want?


Here is also the com kit for the helmet this kit is for racing helmets.
