they are sold in Oz...I nearly bought one (Open face style) mid last year ..an update to my old motorsport helmet
new car..so wanted new helmet ...spoke to the Speedzone guys at Perf and RaceTech
but
beware a lot of these do not have an Aust STDS sticker
not a problem in motorsport as a SNELL, DOT or BS sticker will suffice (and yes the scrutineers DO check)
but
on the road...NO Aust Stds sticker is a no-no

make sure the one you buy does have the Stds sticker

who's with the other stupid, so in the case of this sort of Simpsons helmet, does it DOH! if you drop it (or the bike?)

HAHAHA,

Actually i was sussing out the Simpson Super Bandit, the black one with the more extreme storm trooper star wars look!!

I have been trying to look on heaps of australian web sites and all u get is the simpsons cartoon kids push bike helmets, and i can't find any with the Aust Standards stickers!!

I am gunna try a few bike shops on the mainland as most down here are pretty hopeless!

Craft are just about here but they cause teary eyes and are wind noisy..... Aus approved though.

Dunno about anyone else but if it causes my eyes to water and is wind noisy, than that's a helemt i DON'T want!!!
