WW2 nose art helmets

[Rogue Hawk]

I would love to get a helmet with one of these classic pinup girl illustrations. I am not familiar with this brand, so I could see getting a Shoei or something like that custom painted.

If I remember correctly this is a Finnish brand and they used to make very good comfortable helmets back in the day. I have not seen their name for a long time and thought they had dissapeared but maybe they just stopped selling in the US.I love the paint job.

So I just watched the video and it appears to be made in Italy.

Good looking art. And the information about Finnish, is right on. :yes:

Suomi is a Finnish term. Don't know about the mfg. end of it though. I have Nolans--these are made in Italy--and darn good helmets IMO.

I thought so too but the video with the ad says Italy

If I remember correctly, a few of the MotoGP riders wear the brand.
