The Helmets were the first of the protective series. They are colorful, campy and a little crazy. They are meant as everyday helmets that are both aggressive and defensive, creepy and funny. All are made of layers of glued newspaper and, sometimes, hardware. In reality, they won’t protect anyone from a serious rainstorm much less real danger.
