Anyone here sporting one of the metal face masks from solidstatecovers.com? They look cool enough, and certainly would offer some protection from hard bugs and rocks, but wonder how comfortable/practical they are....looks like they might catch a lot of wind and flop around.

 

The website has a disclaimer something to effect that it offers no protection and unless you want to be impaled by it to be aware of your surroundings and ride safe. But they DO look cool.

 

Maybe in a parade of shock troops...
Doesn't seem very practical with it's very limited view area.
Something I wouldn't be surprised to see at a big run event, but not on the road at any other time.

 

I remember a guy in the 80's who wore one of those. He was always wanting turtle soup...

 

That's to funny

 

I have only seen one in person once. It was hanging on a bike and not actually being used but it looks rather road warrior-ish.

 

Saw a guy who had one autographed by old dude that played in Thunderdome.

 

I want three! one for my face and one for each shoulder! 8)

 

Might as well get a full face helmet, way more comfortable.

This is too aggressive looking for daily usage and probably heavy to boot.

 

LOL, those things are hilarious You'll be the laughing stock of every bike run you attend. Personally I've always thought those face scarfs looked silly enough on so many of today's "soft-core" riders, but these take it to a whole new level. Makes for a good Monday morning laugh, though.
