Vintage Simpson Model 30...I want one



I ran across this on my daily stroll through the inter-web. These are just mean as hell looking. I would of course have to throw a fresh coat of flat black on it before it would adorn my skull.

ooh, that's a rad helmet. That one looks like it even has a tiny bit of venting also. The simpsons are kinda notorious head ovens (I think maybe because alot of them were designed to be worn for 1/4 of a mile...)

This is apparently the first model Simpson came out with, it has been dubbed the Darth Vadar helmet. I would try and scoop one but they are going for anywhere between $300-$1,000...yeah thats right 1K for a f-ing helmet! I'd rather invest in wheelie inducing mods for my bike!

That is a cool lookin helmet. Maybe you could just paint your head flat black until you can afford one.

Hmmm, you do have a good point Ben and it would save me several hundred dollars...or I guess I could just borrow my Son's Darth Vadar mask and call it good.
