Gear: Nexx X60 Vintage

When I was kid cruising around on the back of my dad’s Silverwing, you’d find me wearing a green metal flake 3/4 helmet. Now that I know a little bit more about safety standards, I have higher expectations for my head protection than a hard candy shell with a mangled liner and mostly exposed styrofoam can meet. The Nexx X60 Vintage provides a fashionable retro look that achieves an ECE 22.05 safety rating. The coolest part? It comes in kids’ sizes too. As much as I loved my green sparkly helmet, I’d certainly trade up.
