i saw this helmet while browsing the photo gallery for the 2012 mods vs rockers event in chicago and i was wondering if anyone could tell me a make and model for this helmet?

thanks in advance!

On both sides of the chin guard it says, "N10". My guess is an old Nolan, but I could be wrong.

If you want modern similar helmet, look at the Simpson Bandit.

I don't know what kind of helmet it is but I like seeing all the scooters parked on the right side of the photo! That guy is checking them out too

i like the simpson bandit a lot, however it's not DOT approved and it's designed for race cars... plus it's like $400.

i mean it is SNELL approved, (which i understand is a higher safety rating than DOT) but will that be enough to not get ticketed if i get pulled over?

If you are comfortable with the rating, but some DOT stickers on ebay.

If it passes the SNELL tests, you should be fine. I have a good friend who is on first responder moto team... SNELL trumps DOT in almost every state. I believe the exclusion to the list is the eastern states still require DOT even if the helmet is SNELL rated. However, check your local laws to be sure.
