I was hoping to find something in the way of a fashionable bump cap.
They all seems to looks like baseball caps. This is as close to
something fashionable that I could find:

Nothing in the way of foil coverings to protect the brain from evil
cell phone signals. No paint on Skid Lids. No dazzle camouflage.
Nothing resembling a derby or top hat. All I found were very boring.
I think there may be a fashion opportunity here for bump cap covers.


we have a smattering of these:

Horse riding helmet:

The better one's seem rather expensive. Most are ASTM/SEI approved.

WWII German army helmet. The WWI helmets were better because they
included a pickelhaube on top.

Salad bowl with a chin strap? Kinda crude and certainly not very
fashionable.

Pressed steel, 'just for looks', meet no standards of any
sort, $29.95.


Yes, but lacking in style, fashion, and elegance. The British seem to
know how to design proper helmets. For example:

If you're going to specify or design a bicycle helmet, think style,
fashion, unique, and looking cool first. Once those are established
and there's any money left, you can deal with price and protection.
