I think it’s also because there is a risk of a crack forming under them from a fall, which would indicate the hemlet needing replacement as the integrity has been compromised. just food for though ;) i love the cherry blossom helmet <3

That shirt is *awesome*. I love the designs at Threadless.

@ Minna – Alas, it is the hoodie from that picture. But in my defense, the cut of the sweater was weird and that caused me to never wear it. The ears will get much more exposure on my helmet.

@ Hope Hughes – Haha, LOLcat bikerz!

@ Claudia – Yay, you’re welcome! =D

@ Kate in SB – Ooh, my old DIY partner-in-crime, you must share your creation with me when you’re done!

@ Emily – I haven’t heard that. I have heard that you shouldn’t affix stuff to the helmet because it could alter its ability to function (like if I landed on one of my ears and it messed with the helmets ability to absorb impact because the weight wasn’t distributed evenly or something), but I always figured that was mostly the manufacturers covering their butts in case of lawsuits.

@ Mira – Hmm, I wonder if that has to do with what Emily was saying, about not painting them?

@ Sarah – Sorry I can’t help you, but it looks like Kathryn had a good lead. Luck!

If you can find that, I think it’ll fit! Otherwise, good luck!

My husband’s head is 65cm and we’ve searched for years to find one that fits properly… Most XL or XXL sizes only go up to 63cm at most. Any ideas would be welcome :)

But the us code, I think, requires a slick surface on the helment so the won’t snag you head as you skid across the asphalt. At least that’s the only reason i’ve found for them not selling these in the US..

I’ve done some limited googling, but nothing really came up. Thoughts? Has anyone else heard this?

I was already planning to buy a helmet after work! Love the cat ears. Definitely going to DIY it up. :)
