When Jack Nicholson’s character in “Easy Rider” hit the road with Captain America and Billie, Pete Fonda’s iconic saddle tramp showed immediate concern for his new friend’s safety:
“You got a helmet?”
“Oh, I got a helmet! I got a beauty!”
The gold football helmet Nicholson’s restless lawyer donned during his exodus from Squaresville is nearly as iconic as Captain America’s chopper, and made a statement about the biker lifestyle that resonates around the world to this day. What George’s helmet said so eloquently is simply this:
“We want to be free to ride our machines without being hassled by The Man!”
You can’t distill the meaning of life much further than that. If your personal dreams of freedom run equally deep, we’ve got your helmet.
Biltwell helmets are more comfortable than your favorite beanie, cooler than a ‘60s biker flick and more dangerous than a Bangkok brothel. By eliminating the EPS liner found in conventional DOT-approved helmets, the Biltwell novelty helmet sits low on your brow and hugs your skull. It doesn’t pass any recognized safety certifications, but it sure looks cool. It feels cool, too. That’s because our open-cell foam padding features a breathable fleece Lycra cover that wicks perspiration for dryness and comfort. Our flexible injection-molded ABS outer shell is available in five hand-painted metal flake and two solid colors. Other features include a simple D-ring neck strap and a goggle strap retainer. Colors include the following: gloss black, matte black, metallic silver, metal flake orange, root beer, gold, blue, red and green.
Biltwell open face helmets are available now. MSRP’s are $77 for black or silver and $114 for metal flake.
