I am a solid Star Wars geek, but not in the dress-up and go to a convention sort of way – if you know what I mean.
But, this new lid from HJC might have me singing a different tune, as it mimics Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing “Red 5” fighter helmet, in a DOT legal ¾ helmet format.
That’s just cool…in a really un-cool sort of way.
Based off the budget-friendly HJC IS-5 helmet, this Luke Skywalker replica will cost roughly $180 when it comes out (at a date still to be determined).
Additionally, 10 versions of the lid will be signed by Mark Hamill, and auctioned for charity (UNICEF and the Starlight Children’s Foundation), if your geekdom takes you in such a direction (and you have a four-figure wallet).
As you can see, the Skywalker helmet looks pretty accurate to the one shown in the movies. And with HJC’s other Star Wars helmet lineup, your two-wheeled cosplay can now include bullseyeing womp rats, snaking through the Death Star, or making out with your sister.
