Helmet recommendation?

[Tim K]

If a fella was concerned that he might have to stand outside his place of business and repel looters, what do you all recommend for a bump helmet? I anticipate adding NOD's to the toybox someday, so compatibility with NV would be a bonus. I probably don't want to spend the bank for actual ballistic protection.

My head is pretty big if that matters to the discussion.

If it's a bump helmet, do you need anything more than a full face-shield motorcycle helmet or autocross helmet? Nice thing about having those is they look "ordinary" so won't attract undue attention ...

You don't think a dude standing in a store front wearing a full face motorcycle helmet would stand out?

I meant prior to actual use. Having a combat helmet sitting on the shelf or by the door would attract more queries. Of course you could keep it in a duffel bag until needed.

I have full face MC helmets. I don't think I'd like having my ears covered or the reduction in peripheral vision. Probably exactly the right thing for getting hit with a stick, though!

Cheap option would be a bmx or roller derby certified helmet. Can take a licking and good for multiple impacts. Would blend in most anywhere as looks like a bicycle helmet. Carry a skateboard and you can add a backpack and elbow and knee pads without looking suspicious.

Pretty standard uniform for rioters right now.
