pretty nice looking! But I don't like the little thing on the back(what is it? maybe it serves some purpose I'm not aware of).

now this is a Helmet..
is actually this Arai is lighter than most Downhill helmets and extremlly well crafted, in terms of ventilation sucks but the Troy's and the 661 are not much better.

Here's the GIRO helmet I currently wear. I lied about it costing $30....
I got it on sale for $19 about 3 months ago. I wish I'd bought 2....
I chose the Black.
