Yes, strange helmet, but iirc the only thing available at the time. I wore one briefly. Indeed, a scary thing to contemplate. Jay Sexton Sebastopol, CA

I picked up the strangest bicycle helmet in history. It is called a Skidlid. It is NOS. I won't waste bandwidth on list with a description. It was made in San Diego in 1983. What in god's name have I turned up here. Did ANYONE actually wear such a thing in 1983? What were the people in San Diego ingesting in 1983 to produce such a thing?
