Wasn't there a Mel Brooks movie with Big Helmet in it who was supposed to be
a Darth Vader character? Space Balls was it? -

Moranis, who complained throughout the movie that he hated wearing the
helmet because he couldn't see or breathe through it. That movie was a
Tour de Force for the ageless [censored] Van Patten.-WG

cracking up and the other people in the sports bar who were watching
baseball didn't know what I was laughing at. -

Here's a picture of the Selev helmets that FDJ used, two of which would
fit inside the Lazer TT helmet:

http://www.selevhelmets.com/data/crono_2004.htmMy personal feeling is that these TT helmets lend a lot less aero advantage
than the disadvantage of not cooloing enough. The difference between a
helmeted head with increased frontal area and slightly less drag than a
normal head with perhaps a cap to keep your hair from flailing around is
miniscule at best.
