Coolest looking bike helmets?!
Vanity galore. Trying to convince people to wear a helmet while cycling. Basically need you guys to post the most stylish helmets imaginable! PS big pass on the fedora ones...

TRUE
I take it you're shopping for newby cyclists. Some of the skateboard helmets look pretty cool and may get them started.

1) there are no cool looking helmets. We all , to the rest of the world , look like total dweebs and any helmet compounds this exponentially.
2) you can't convince others to wear a helmet. In so trying, you will only annoy them and piss the off.

2) Helmet thread poll says different.

Yes but let's get real, it's a cycling poll by cycling dweebs about cycling dweebery.
Don't get me wrong, I'm one if you, but I don't make the mistake of thinking anyone out there thinks a cycling kit and helmet is cool looking. Fortunately I really don't care if someone thinks I look cool or not.

I've had more than one fine, sexy woman comment on my helmets, most recently this one:
I suspect, however, it's a 'total package' thing, and not so much the helmet being cool as the rider making the helmet cool. So, choose wisely, but if you're essentially a dork anyway, well...just get whatever you like and don't worry about the other stuff, like style!

Anyone who would ever describe themselves as a dweeb has no claim to anything regarding cool. Sorry.

Note that the OP didn't ask if any helmets were cool looking or not. He asked what was the coolest looking. Those are different things.
Anyway, since nobody specified it actually had to be protective,
