ChiCom fighter pilot replica. Is this the "German helmet" of the next generation?

Pretty cool. No DOT.
However I live in a no helmet state.
I should have had mine on the other day when I had an incident with a cage. Only damage was my clutch handle and what part that holds it. I thought I got out on the cheap for Seventy bucks. The cage driver will be pleased as well.

There was a company in the UK, I believe, called ROOF, that made motorcycle helmets that looked like fighter plane lids.

And here we go:

I ordered one for ***** and giggles. If nothing else, it'll look cool in the man-cave!
