I think those helmets look horrible. Generally, I believe in function(/safety) over form, yet I wouldn't wear one of those But I have to admit, I can more easily see people when they are wearing them.... especially on darker bikes. White seems to be the next most visible. So if your aim is higher daytime visibility, it is a "win".Where I live, a rider could be covered in neon and Christmas lights and drivers would swear they didn't see them, so the helmet, though not sooo cool, may help a little. Never thought I would like FF helmets, but today, feel unprotected with a Half or 3/4 model. Modular is my favorite FF, Don't like the trapped in feel from standard FF's. Just me, I guess. . .

Slightly off topic but shows that people can see what they want. About 30 years ago, I cannot remember if it was Bristol, NC or the Bristol, TN side of town. I was coming through town on my way to the coast riding a Grey Yamaha with a white helmet and a black visor. You would have thought I was running lights and sirens as people started slowing down, getting in the right hand lane, giving me the right away at intersections. They were the most respectful drivers I had ever seen. Then I saw a Motor Officer who looked just like me, it all made sense. He was on a Grey Yamaha with a white helmet and a black visor. That proves it, people can and will see you if it is in their best interest.Here they ride Electra glides and Road Kings, but do have the black n white helmets. Come on home to Texas before the snow up there gets too bad. With shorter winter sunlight, when commuting to work n home, I am currently wearing the sliver FF, hoping that headlights reflect off of it. Who knows. tp
