I know a few people asked about Carbon Fiber vs Novelty (Brain Buckets) helmets and where you can buy/try on locally. Leon's Cycle Shop in Swansea, MA sells both Novelty and DOT Carbon Fiber helmets made by Advance Carbon Composites. (Head Trip Helmets) out of Orlando FL. THESE ARE THE BEST!I purchased one last week and it is a quality cap. I went with the novelty but to each his own...
