Yes, I wonder if that helmet would help with lane splitting.

Lane splitting is one of the reasons I like mainly white or light/bright colored helmets. Having done it for years and thousands of miles, I have spent a lot of time watching what cars do depending on what I'm wearing. When I'm in these types of helmets, I notice cars moving over more frequently and way ahead of when, or if they'll move if I'm in a dark helmet. Makes sense - imagine glancing in the side view mirror of your car, what will catch your eye more easily - a white or bright colored ball, or something dark that blends in to the minutiae of what's in your small field of view.
Definitely not a be-all, end-all safety move... the only time I had an incursion with a car, I was in a white helmet and hi-viz jacket, but I don't wear dark helmets these days.
With a pointy nose, hard to do a chin mount on this one, but I molded one just off to the side and have an angled adapter to point the camera forward just to the right of the chin.

A recent purchase. I didn’t get it directly from Europe, but it was made there.

The visor on its predecessor broke and I thought, ‘what the …’ Actually, I’m not that extravagant. The visor broke and the helmet was so old I couldn’t find a replacement.

Looks kinda nice there, Cormanus.
RE: One More Euro Lid - Cormanus - 02-15-2024
Thanks GO. I’m happy with it. Light and comfortable and a greatly improved internal sun visor. Bonus for not being all black like it’s predecessor!

Carbon fiber? Cool 'n' carbon fiber makes for some comfort in the heat.
RE: One More Euro Lid - Cormanus - 02-16-2024
Yes, carbon fiber. Weighs 1,430 grams.

Hmmm...went to Cycle Gear and a dealership to try on some white helmets, HJC and Shoei...erg...looked at myself in the mirror. Didn't like bright white. Vanity of vanities! I told myself, "so you'd rather die looking 'good' than look ugly and stay alive?", and--to my shame--my self replied, "yep".
But at least I found that the [url=https://www.ebay.com/itm/134356890118]HJC i71 and the [url=https://www.ebay.com/itm/305390443154?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=305390443154&targetid=1645685073768&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9032835&poi=&campaignid=20133407470&mkgroupid=147476396765&rlsatarget=pla-1645685073768&abcId=9312979&merchantid=619812026&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAz8GuBhCxARIsAOpzk8yw_tU8Vxel3HpUDMh07CmHy0nq2xzTVMIw4uI_y0ee6Dy4Z8cfyXQaAk72EALw_wcB]Shoei RF-SR both fit me well in medium.
Maybe something like this [url=https://www.ebay.com/itm/266377048790?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=266377048790&targetid=1645685073528&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9032835&poi=&campaignid=20133407470&mkgroupid=147476396765&rlsatarget=pla-1645685073528&abcId=9312979&merchantid=101722843&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAz8GuBhCxARIsAOpzk8yT3wBWnBLJMPOzSDi6ihZ4cNPY98ZEsYMSxwGVgPTqCVAnk6Ef9hcaAnu_EALw_wcB]orange, white w/ hint of light blue HJC i71?
Would love to see what it looks like in person.
