Quote:No, it's correct: on the original helmet, there IS a 'bulbous rim', but it stops a few inches short of the crest. On the 'white' helmet, the rim continous all the way to the crest.I must retract this after looking at the original pictures - the rim continues all the way to the crest. So I must agree with matt about that 'black' picture.
