Teamed up with Italian helmet manufacturer AGV, the Diesel Mowie is a fighter pilot inspired open face helmet designed for the scooter market.The AGV Diesel Mowie helmet presents very polished details: fabric and leather made in Italy, the mythical "Diesel Mohawk" in high density raised leather, shiny chrome raised logo on the back, and padded ergonomic neck protection which is a removable cold weather neck roll attached with a zipper.
One of the most obvious features of the Mowie is the flip-down fighter pilot shield made out of anti-scratch polycarbonate and is also available in smoked, yellow, orange and green. The helmet ships with a clear with a UV filtering visor. There is a gasket at the top that creates a seal to keep the weather out. The shield works well in blocking wind on city streets, but at highway speeds the cool looking eye protection may provide too much air. The cloth lining is fully removable and washable with the diesel logo. Light and DOT rated, the helmet comes in two shell sizes and a range of eight colors.
A micro ratcheting system on a padded chin strap makes it secure and easy to adjust. The construction and detail is impressive for a scooter helmet due to its function, style and quality. The helmet comes in a cool army green carry bag.
The Mowie represents another solid collaboration from AGV Helmets and Diesel. To see all options in this category, visit our open face motorcycle helmets section.
Fresh for 2012, we have the AGV Diesel Hi-Jack Helmet. A collaboration piece between the legendary Italian Jeans company, Diesel, and the engineers over at AGV, this is one open face helmet that screams style.
First off, let's talk about style. Built for intermediate oval head shapes, the Hi-Jack Helmet comes in five different color options giving you more of a choice to find the helmet that perfectly matches your style. Personally I'm a big fan of the white with stripes option and the helmet's aeronautic design with its distinct curve at the sides. The designers at Diesel really helped craft an open face that has its own unique, cafe rider feel. The helicopter pilot style, lightweight, fiberglass shell gives off an awesome shine that will have riders feeling confident as they go for a ride every time.
Looking at the guts, you'll notice before even getting into the helmet that it uses a quick release buckle that allows riders the ability to take it on and off with one hand while still wearing a glove. The helmet is equipped with a concealable visor that is offered in a variety of different tints that lets the helmet adapt to each rider's specific need. The internal padding is constructed out of Dri-Lex fabric that helps pull sweat away and feels nice against the skin. The liners are completely removable and washable. You'll notice the Diesel branding all over the 3D internal comfort liner that wraps around the top of your head. This liner is weaved to help flow some air through the helmet, but because this is an open face there are no vent holes.
So if you're looking for an original and unconventional helmet that won't go unnoticed, the AGV Diesel Hi-Jack may just be the choice for you! Easily one of the most attractive open face helmets currently on the market, this puppy screams fashion and gives its rider a unique look.
