Don’t get me wrong, the HJC Carbon FS-15 Helmet is not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but the price lands it right in the upper end of the mid-priced good helmets range and it is made of carbon fiber, which makes it light.
The helmet features are what you would expect: anti-fog system, tool-less lens replacement, airflow ventilation. The liner is washable.
Price: $450-460 [Motorhelmets via Acquire]
The Italian jeans company Diesel has teamed up with Italian helmet manufacturer AGV to produce a line of designer helmets. Diesel takes the helmet company in a different direction to their typical racing fare and brings a unique twist to the table: there is a removable, washable lining, a leather “mohican crest” and an interchangeable visor. Safety features include ergonomic neck protection.
While it does seem pretty silly to go to a fashion label for head protection, AGV makes helmets for the likes of Valentino “The Doctor” Rossi. [Diesel via Acquire]
