From leather jackets to early-century goggles, it seems like nowadays the oldest the coolest. And surprisingly enough, we at Vintage Rides are all about a classic style! We are also all about security on the road, so what’s best than dressing your head with a retro-feel helmet?
HJC IS-CRUISER
This helmet’s modern graphics and clear lines will appeal to riders looking to add-up a clean minimalistic touch to their attire. The shell is very light with a slide visor - a perfect combination for the ones who don’t want to compromise stylishness for comfortness. The tinted sun glass will allow to have additional weather protection if needed. Other features include a nylon strap D-Ring retention system.
From $114.99
HEDON HEDONIST
Did you know that each Hedon helmet was a tailor-made handcrafted piece? Pick the shade and finishings of your choice: your personalized helmet with its own retro feel will arrive at your place in one month. What cannot be changed is the fiberglass and carbon composition shell, as well as the Merlin anti-bacterial interior fabric. But who would want to review such high-quality standards for its own head protection? We can already picture it with a little Continental GT. Yes sir.
From $299
BLAUER HT 80S
Because big is just as beautiful, we couldn’t go on with our selection without picking up this revival bijou. Confectioned by military-supplier Blauer, you can be sure protection is taken seriously with this 1100 grams helmet. The shell uses carbon, dyneema and triple composite to create a protective frame in the interior padding. The removable washable liner will allow to get some open-air freedom as it goes. Ride on!
From $369
HANMI HALF HELMET
Bike purists will love it. Combining innovation and a call to the past, this helmet will make you go back in time. Made of ABS plastic, it comes with old-school goggles, a chin and ear straps, and zippered pocket on the sides. Looking cooler than cool without compromising safety measures? A big YES! Wear this on one of our motorcycle tours – we guarantee a hell lot of heads turning.
From $53.90
BELL SOLID BULLITT
Bell shows again proof of its undeniable worldwide reputation with this one. Very similar to the Bell Star 120 but more practical, the Bell Solid Bullitt helmet is made of a fiber composite shell and is equipped with multi-density EPS liner. Its full-face protection will keep you well protected while its retro graphics will make it an indispensable partner for your weekend bike rides. Thumbs up!
From $299.99
