Lust: Milano Woody Scooter Helmet by VCAN

by Kristin on August 8, 2010

VCAN Milano Scooter Helmet in Wood Grain

I recently came across the coolest helmet on the face of the planet via the ScootAbout website. It’s the VCAN Milano Scooter Helmet in wood grain. I mean, look at it! You could boggle your mind just trying to figure out how they got the wood to bend like that.

Oh, it’s simulated wood grain. Right.

This helmet immediately made me think of Benjimen’s stunning Country Squire Woody Vespa. It matches exactly and if I were him, I’d totally get one of these pronto. Here’s a few pics of his awesome custom scooter alongside the Frankenstella:

The scooter and the helmet make a great match, right?

I can’t speak for their comfort as I’ve never worn a VCAN helmet. But you can go try them one in store. For $75, they’re a steal. I’d pick one up, but I’ve already got three helmets, including a newish Ladybug style retro HCI helmet. Still, I think this one’s going on my wish list!
