Vintage 1977 Shoei ZG Aromatic Polyamide Fiber Helmet

This is a Shoei ZG Aromatic Polyamide Fiber Helmet. It has a Snell 1975 rating and a build date of Nov. 1977. The shape of the helmet is unusual. I have never weighed any of the old helmets I have but this one feels like the lightest of all the full coverage types.
Having owned some Shoei helmets in that era it is my guess this model was top of the line. The graphics are good looking and are light reflective. The interior looks like it was comfortable.




Old Kiwi Full Coverage Motorcycle Helmet

This is an old (has a Snell 1980 rating) Kiwi full coverage helmet. I have no idea what steelglass is but it sounds strong! It has a nice space helmet shape to it and both exterior and interior finish are quality.
With a name like Kiwi you would think it was made in New Zealand.........not so. It is Swiss made, that explains the quality.




Bell Moto 4 Helmet With Quick Strap Goggles

This is a standard Bell Moto 4 Motocross/Off road helmet. A common choice in the 80's.
The Scott goggles and the ROKO Quick Strap were common stuff . In my opinion the Moto 4 never looked as good as the Moto 3.

Here is an unopened Quick Strap package.
