Check out the open face motorcycle helmet in the picture. Looks like and older 1970's style dosen't it? Not eh sleek motorcycle helmets most riders use these days but this open face helmet style is very popular in many Asian countries. China in particular. I suppose it is because in many of those countries they are riding scooters and mopeds more that the larger sport bikes we ride in America so the speeds are slower plus these open face helmets allow the rider a wider field of vision. This is especially important to riders who are riding in cities with alot of traffic and narrow roads. I still have a couple of these open face style helmets and they even have the duck bill visor on them. Mine look like a maniac took a grinder and hammer to them so I display them with pride as a testament to my more memorable crashes. A open face helmet like this can still be bought at online motorcycle helmets sites today for a really cheap price. Notice the DOT sticker on the helmet in the picture? Always buy a helmet with this sticker as you will then know you are buying a quality tested helmet and shop online for your open face helmets because online motorcycle helmets sites will give you best deal and selection. Some of these open face helmets are getting harder to find but by going online your selection will be much greater. Unless your local dealer is really into stocking a large selection of motorcycle helmets (and most are not) then online is your best bet. You will occasionally see someone wearing this open face helmet style and most of the time they are riding a bike as old as the helmet or a smaller cc motorcycle. I think it is great and more power to them.
