4. A classic three-quarter helmet, the Jimmy Retro Stripe from Z1R Helmets is a DOT-approved throwback gorgeously finished with white and silver stripes over an orange base color. It features dual forehead vents, a comfortable brushed nylon interior with a padded chinstrap and a three-snap bubble visor. A comfortable, well-made helmet, its five snap design will also accept most face shields (not included). It’s also available in black/silver and white/red, and in typical Z1 fashion it’s well-made, good looking and surprisingly cheap. Price: $69.95. More info: www.z1rhelmets.com

5. The CL-31 Racer II helmet from HJC is a new-school helmet with an old-school paint job, providing both safety and good looks. This three-quarter lid is Snell and DOT approved, and features HJC’s Advanced Channeling Ventilation System, providing full frontto-back airflow to flush heat and humidity up and out of the helmet, along with a Nylex crown pad that is comfortable, removable and washable. It comes with a three-snap visor. Price: $99.99 (XXL and XXXL, $104.99). More info: www.hjc.com

6. Hand-made in Italy and one of the most unusual designs on the market, the MOMO Design Essenziale helmet features an attractive yet minimalist design that almost looks like it belongs in a museum. It features a removable, optically-correct scratch-resistant visor mounted on a Guilloché steel frame wrapped with stainless steel and laser-etched with the MOMO Design logo. This steel frame gives the visor butter-smooth action, and the DOT-approved helmet also has a soft, comfortable liner. Available in orange, black and baccarat (baby blue) matte rubberized finishes, the Essenziale was designed with safety, comfort and low weight in mind. Price: $395.
