I have no source I can link to for this but I have heard it is better not to wear a helmet than wearing one of these. The reason being that the outer layer is sticky on tarmac meaning if you crash and hit your head it dose not slide but sticks and uses your entire body as a lever to snap your neck.
Now as I have said I can't remember where I herd or read this so can't provide a link but it may be worth some googling. If you are wearing it for pure style points then this may be irrelevant but you seem to suggest that it is for some safety reason. Just a point I though I would raise.
