minus-squareRightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up28·1 month agoDefinitely one of the helmets of all time. This gives a very “designed in the 1970s” vibe. Lots of organic curves and untextured fiberglass/plastic. Not enough fins or ribs to be from the 80s, but too much white for the 60s.
