Abstract: The helmet of the present invention comprises an outer and inner shell having a top, a front, a rear, and left and right sides corresponding to wearer's crown, face, rear and left and right sides, respectively. The front of the helmet has an enlarged view window that exposes at least a portion of the wearer's face. The view window has an upper rim, lower rim, right rim, and left rim. The lower rim extends from the front of the helmet to about the auditory canal. The upper rim is separated from the lower rim and loosely tracks the path of the lower rim. The upper rim is connected to the lower rim on both the left and right sides by left and right rims, respectively. A step is formed in the lower rim as it proceeds towards the back of the view window. This increases the wearer's view of the road. The upper rim is connected to the lower rim on both the right and left sides by the right and left side rims, respectively. The side rims have a straight slant that extends backwards from bottom to top.
