Show us your helmet!
Now that Trek has “changed the future of cycling forever” with the release of their new helmets, 
I figure this is as good of a time as ever to see what other BF members wear.
If you don’t believe in helmets, or a helmet saved you and your families life many times over, that's great, but please post it here in the appropriate thread. This thread is only for sharing pics of helmets. Hey, at least I can dare to dream!
Personally, I go for the dorky style, with mirror, reflective tape and/or lights.

It’s a bit ragged. The shell broke loose from the foam a couple of years ago. Plan to replace sooner or later with MTB style with a visor.
I’ve mentioned it before, but this helmet makes everyone happy. I figure if in the two seconds a motorist sees it, they think “haha watermelon,” or even “haha dork,” they’re not thinking “damn smug cyclist,” and I’ve made their day better and improved relations.
The magnetic clasp is awesome and I’ll transplant it to the next helmet if I can.

What the h_ll -- I'll play! Warm weather helment: Synthe MIPS; cold weather helment: Savant MIPS, same colour as @Revoltingest's above.
I bought the Synthe because I wanted to spend more money foolishly for no benefit whatsoever, and to help me in my attempt to set a new land-speed record using a 75-tooth chainring and 5-tooth sprocket. Oh -- I'm also convinced that the Giro Synthe MIPS "changed cycling forever".

Bell Z20 Ghost helmet. My other helmet is a Kask Mojito, but I got in a big accident and the Kask helmet flew off my head.

I'm too cheapskate to buy a fancy $$$ helmet. Plus, I like looking different on group rides. The watermelon would cover both points!
Here's the lid I've been sporting all winter.
