Does anyone know where i can buy the european style helmets. I saw them on here once but do not know where to get them. I like the whole darth vaderish look.

Try these vendors in the USA:
If that doesn't do it, come up with a name brand and I'll find you somewhere to order them. Note that some Euro-helmets do not meet DOT requirements (which in my mind aren't as strict or as good as current Euro-spec), and so aren't legal for compliance... although I have never EVER seen a cop or other official check a real (non-novelty) helmet for compliance imprint in the USA.

How about Europe?? Take a flight and buy it there....
But seriously...check out the current Super Street Bike or 2WheelTuner....the advertisers in the back of those magazines have the sites you can buy them at...you don't even have to buy the magazine just go into your local Barnes and Noble and sit and flip through the magazine bring a notebook and pen and write down everything you need..

It's made in Europe...Originally posted by durtyspeed
...also many are not DOT approved because of one thing or another...they usually have the European standard safety certifications....not to say they are better or worst than DOT or Snell but different....the arguement is that the european standards/helmets are made different to protect the head differently...yes it sounds confusing but if you read the contriversial motorcyle article in Motocyclist "Blowing the lid off" on page 64 of the June 2005 edition it explains everything.
Also they look like Darth Vader/Flight Helmets:

I bought mine from www.designerhelmets.com
They were excellent about contacting me and general communications.....They also carry all three you posted (Simpson, Craft, and Roof, as well as Cromwell, Momo, Draxtar, Schuberth, Caberg, Osbe, etc) but you gotta realize that they don't come too cheap - my total cost to get it was about $825, including the original shipping, and a fairly big delivery charge at the door.

Since insurance companies are intent on containing costs, should I give them another way to weasel out of paying my claim? I would worry about them finding out my helmet didn't have DOT approval. For me that trumps the cool design factor.
Yes, I recognize this is inconsistent with my preference for non-DOT-approved headlamps and brake lines.Comment
