Looks like a Davida helmet and "Aviator" goggles: http://davida.co.uk/type.php?id=Aviator_Pilot

"Aviator Pilot" is the name of the goggles, and that's certainly what they are. I don't think there is a "pilot" helmet from Davida. It might be a Speedster http://davida.co.uk/type.php?id=speedster , although, in your photo, it appears to have snaps across the brow, and none of the similar Davida helmets seem to have that. Definitely Davida Aviator Pilot goggles though.

Ah yes, didn't notice the snaps and it's missing the Davida Wings logo too.

Cool helmet even if it is a poor choice. Now it they did it in a robust flip up...i'd be in line.
I always brake in corners and think how I am going to get home if I really mess up. When I get home, I wished that I hadn't used my brakes and should have ridden a bit further.

Yeah, an open face would be cool but ever since I visited a mate in hospital who had had the bottom half of his face substantially rearranged , jaw included, I've gone safe over cool.

If you have to be "cool", just get a mirrored face shield for your full face helmet.
Then the chicks will be impressed as long as you don't open it. :geek:
