Light Up T-Rex Helmet Covers > Your Dignity.


T-Rex - Noginsox - $24.95

From the Noginsox website:

You'll love this throwback to the time when dinosaurs walked the land- our T-Rex has lighted eyes that glare and teeth that flash, and weighs less than 8 ounces! The original T-Rex lived over 65 million years ago in the Cretaceous period. Their bones have been found in the Western parts of North America. Weighing 5 to 7 tons and measuring up to 40 feet in length, it's massive head had 6-inch serrated teeth. Perfect for ripping the flesh from it's victims. Ouch!


Perfect for ripping the flesh from it's victims.
There you go folks.



N.B. Noginsox additionally offers a "punk-max" spiked mohawk helmet cover with illuminated, flashing battle spikes. Simply strap these shameless covers over any regular sports helmet, and you're ready to go.

Hardwood is hard wood.



C4 Helmet (Hardwood)
- Mace - $30

I unearthed this highly prototypical helmet which boasts the redemptive pièce de résistance of a faux wood grain (straps not pictured) through The Confederation for the Protection of Heads and Brains (PROHAB). Based out of Vancouver, BC, PROHAB is a non-profit organization which strives to provide aesthetically appealing bicycle helmets free of cost. Since the helmets featured on this blog largely are quite expensive, I'm going to begin focusing on affordability and programs that offer discounted / free helmets. According to the PROHAB facebook page, C4 Helmets are available for FREE in either matte black and matte grey. While these certainly are not the most exhilarating designs available, simply pasting some stickers or cutting out a stencil and shaking up that old can of spray paint can redeem your helmet of its banality.

Protec



Cyphon - Protec - $70

While teetering on that categorical edge of abominable helmets from outer space, the Cyphon offers a merger between the ventilation / functionality of a bicycle helmet and the aesthetic simplicity of a skate helmet. However, a consumer review did list this helmet as an essential skate helmet that, in great vain, merely offers the iconography of a bicycle helmet. This rather pricey helmet is unsuitable for longer rides in warmer weather, but certainly offers a degree of ventilation uncommon amongst the more attractive helmets. The rear of the helmet (images available on the Protec website) features an inexplicable, yet moderately alluring design that resembles haphazard slices from a topographical map.
