(Nice animation and write up on the Momo ‘can’ at webBikeWorld.com, a great resource for helmets)

You may recall back in October we mentioned someone on Amazon who was importing crates of Italian helmets (see: sexy hotness) and providing them to us lowly latecomers (see: the Americans).

Yes, they are finally available here after HOW many years? AND these are DOT certified. From what I understand they also have a slightly reworked interior to accommodate our grotesquely massive American craniums.

I like how WebBikeWorld describes this Momo helmet with this paragraph:

One thing’s for certain: you won’t see yourself coming and going when you’re wearing the Komposit. I rode a friend’s cruiser down to the local hangout, and the crowd absolutely loved it. Everyone wanted to know where they could get one. So maybe MOMO will start a new trend – helmet-wearing cruiser riders!

Well, if that’s what it takes to get a bucket on someone’s head, so be it! I’m just glad we finally have it as an option here in the USA. All I know is that I have plans for my next tax return!

Keep an eye on Benchmark Helmets to start shipping in skid lids from all sorts of Italian manufacturers including not just MomoDesigns, but also cascos from Cromwell , Laura Smith , Borsalino and Ferrari! Bravissimo Benchmark! Keep ‘em comin’! Maybe we can kick out a couple of reviews for the readers.
