Women in Helmets

There is something quite charming about a woman in a helmet. Whether it is an army helmet, racing, aviator's, football or sci-fi space helmet, they all imbue a certain endearing quality to the female wearer. It can be sexy or exotic, playful or serious, but in many mens' minds their dwells a mystique about a woman in a helmet.
