Wanted: Hairnet leather helmet

Posted on
  • Does anyone have one of these, or know where I could get one from? I couldn't find much searching google.

  • why?

    edit: I think roberto or jos had some a while back....

  • can't bring self to wear a proper one, might be better than nothing. just found one in belgium on ebay

  • I'm sure I've seen them in Condor...

  • They're worse than useless.

  • someone should make one that works cause i think they look splendid
    (and not at all like a speecial kid)

  • saw a bloke cycling down oxford street wearing one of these yesterday - stunning!

  • 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.

  • ok thanks all, maybe i won't get one after all

  • If you're wearing it for style points.. then it's still a feckin' orrible choice! Fugly!
    Reminds me of blokes my dad's age riding around in footy shorts with beer guts hanging out..

  • i think i've got one somewhere, black patent leather, not sure where i put it. useless for safety, but fucking cool. let me know if you still want it, i'll have a poke around.

  • I have one if you want it...p&p only...a freebie....if you livr near cambridge you can collect it....White.....from Condor
