Helmet for the one percent

Only $890! I thought I was being excessive by spending more than $100 on a Bell.

Kevin, it's not about the helmet, it's about the price! $150 clearly is much too pedestrian, so to speak.

I like the chin strap arrangment.  I bet some of these features will eventually appear on regular lids.

 

Does it come in Bianchi Celeste green?

I can't buy a helmet that's more expensive than my bike.

Clearly the 1% needs to protect themselves while riding on a bike trail in the suburbs.

I like this one a lot and reckon it would be good come winter, to fend off the eyeball-freeze. I hope this doesn't put me up against the wall by JDPON.

Looks like crap, too.  Little more than a sk8er helmet w/a visor and leather straps.  First your head overheats, then the leather straps are all stretched out from perspiration and it falls off.

There's no place for helmet lights on both of these.

The helmets look like a fancy track helmet (like the one below) that's had it's price doubled. Not much ventilation because you don't need it when doing a sprint or track event that runs for 5 minutes at most and pretty minimal.  Not at all practical for everyday riding.
