If you get in quick, this Casey Stoner helmet could be yours. The charity auction Cuore d’Atleta on E-bay has this autographed Stoner memorabilia, Nolan N94, that was used in the last unforgettable season from the Ducati rider.
For this and other examples from the auction, go to eBay.it and in the charity (beneficenza) area, click on “Cuore d’atleta”.

We’ve been checking out quite a few helmets lately but it’s time to take a look at Momo Design’s 2008 elegant offering. The New Devil is a jet helmet with a completely transparent visor and chin piece that allows for full protection, without compromising on visibility.
The external shell is made from carbon fibre, while the internal lining is anti-allergenic and anti-perspirant. The visor is made from anti-fog poly-carbon and the Momodesign logo is certainly not lacking.

Dedicated to who wants to follow fashion but with a touch of irony, the new jet helmets from Moschino are youthful, elegant, comfortable and functional.
Brought about from a collaboration with Max Safety Fashion, Piedmontese company who manufactures helmets, the Moschino Helmets offer comfort and style, with a visor similar to sunglasses, leather finish and anti-perspirant fabric.
Models available are Peace&Love, with a red heart and green peace sign, in black or gold. They sell for around 215 euros, or with the zip in gold or silver, at about 275 euro.

X-lite has released its new X-602 model, an integrated helmet in composite fibres with a competitive price of 289 euros. The X-602 represents a technical evolution, including some new design, from its predecessor the X-601, and represents the benchmark for the entry level segment.
The X-602 has an external shell in three different sizes (XS/S, M/L, XL/XXL), that mean the helmet is available to a wide range of users. The General Electric visor is in Lexan® OQ, and the scratch resistant quality can also be equipped with Nolan’s fog resistant system.

The internal sun visor is the best improvement on previous models, and is fully accessible and removable for cleaning or replacement. The shell is in polycarbon Lexan® EXL, and the N103 is also equipped with the Dual Action mechanism which allows for opening with only one hand when placed at the centre of the chin.

When you think you’ve seen it all, you have to think again - we had never seen a helmet with a fur trim until now. The idea behind this comes from a Piedmontese brand that produces jet helmets: calling this one Lapin and redefining helmet fashion.
The New Max Safety Fashion so adds this “Borsalino” to its range of prestigious helmets. Other brands linked to this company include Piaggio, Momo Design, Ferrari and Gucci, showing links to the world of fashion and the high quality work and materials used.
We’re not sure if the fur is real Lapin (rabbit) or not, so before making a gift to an animal rights activist, you may want to check this out. Other than it could be one for the wife… The price is about 240 euros. For more information go to the Borsalino official site.

A shocking campaign on the use of helmets when riding has come to our attention. It’s perhaps particularly appropriate over here when you often see teenagers scooting about with no head protection. A timely reminder.
