A friend of mine has a helmet that the chin part flips down so he can
smoke without taking off his helmet. He rides an ATV so don't hold
that against him. :-)
Anyway, what kind of helmet is it and who makes them? Can I get them
online? I tried searching but came up dry or I couldn't really tell
from the pics. Any ideas?
TIA

How about flip up? Like these:

That what you mean?
Go fast. Take chances.

No, those apparently flip up. His flipped down and had a more of a off-
road look to it, rather than the road-biker look.

Could it been a really old helmet?
there was an older open face helmet type, that has the snap on faceguard, or
even rivited on? I had one, it got old and you could move the faceguard
down and drink a pop. wasn't much defense in a crash, but deflected the
roost when riding, back before full face was the norm. before that I had
the goggle type face mask, lol.

If you are going to ride slow enough to smoke... I'd just go open
face... :)
