Show me your helmet.

I need a hipper helmet to wear from day to day and save my road bike looking helmet for....road biking. Nothing like stylin' it on my way to work and topping my outfit with a lamo silver giro.

So.....whatcha got?

Bell Alchera or Delirium (the Delirium is an Alchera with a removable peak).

If you're in the US and these are only in Europe, the Influx looks near identical:

A helmet that's both a good helmet (protection, fit, ventilation) and looks "hip"? Nope, doesn't exist.

WTF is wrong with people?

Just your standard bell volt for me- looks like something from alien, but it fits like a glove, so I'm down.

This was a trap to draw out fashion conscious hipster chaff, wasn't it? Pretty clever, Ummbnb. We'll mark 'em as they approach and find them later on the roads.

So far I have yet to see a single picture of someone wearing a helmet, as the OP requested. I deem this thread: Fail.

<<< there it is!!!!

Ok, i don't really use that helmet. I use a Giro Stylus. But it would be super cool to wear the duck helmet.

Is the Giro Atmos II hyp enough? I own two of them (medium blue).

They may have recently stopped making them.

Giro Pneumo ( I think they're discontinued). The one pictured (white) is gone, I now have a red, white & blue version, and a yellow, silver, white version.

I have possibly the most common helmet on the planet - a blue Bell!

This but completely blue:
