Vintage Shoei VT-1 Sport /Simpson Bandit/Bell Star Helmets

Here is a side by side look at three very different full coverage helmets. On the left is a Bell Star, common stuff. In the middle is a Shoei VT-1 Sports. There is only one word for this model....FUGLY! These had to be their low end off road/ATV FC helmet. No Snell rating, you don't see many of them and that's why I like it. On the right is in my opinion the most interesting helmet style ever, the Simpson Bandit. This one is an early example. It is missing the shield but is the best color....Darth Vader Black.
