Would this be a Fred helmet?
I kinda like this... is this a Fred helmet? I feel like if me, your average biker, was wearing this fluorescent yellow helmet with a non-matching kit/clothes it would be a little weird?

I don't care if it's flashing purple polka-dots, if it keeps you from getting run over, it's good.

Well I think it is an interesting looking color for the helmet and it's visible but I just wasn't sure if I would look like a clown and stick out like a sore thumb. It does come in white/blue and white/red which are more classic looks. Black helmets look cool, but is this not recommended for regular use because it's not as visible?
Anyone have experience with this helmet? Ventilation? Comfort? Safety?

You are also wearing a tight fitting, brightly colored outfit as well, right? I really wouldn't worry about how the helmet looks at that point.
