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.
This is a replica helmet and I don't care for it much . It is colorful, shaped like a helmet and has the Simpson name on it but......it's not real. I think it is a copy of some Nascar/ Lenox sponsored team helmet but I can not say for sure. I got it cheap (that's the only thing it has going for it! ) and it was hanging in the rafters so it was time to take some images and document it. There is no chin strap, just the solid strap you see in the image. I suppose they did not want someone using it as a real helmet.
