Yeah saw the thread from rrash, but very limited to suomy helmets. ONly some extreme's are on sale, and the Bostrom one only comes in silver for the closeout deal. The Goorbergh's on other hand and other new model suomy's are at regular price.

My vote would be for either the Poggiali or Tamada reps. Different, but not in an ugly way.

I have the Goorbergh, which I like a lot. I also like the new Hodgson, with the black/white swirls.

That Tommy Guns helmet is also sic.
