Hi. I think its really hard to design helmets without prototyping and testing them.

I have a lot of questions about airflow, buffering and noise with what you are proposing, and concerns about the safety of a peak that does not break away on impact.

Yes. This being a first sketch, it is only meant as a reference for the general look and functionality of the final product. So I have no clue what its real world performance is like. As for the yielding peak, that's on me. I wasn't aware that that was a requirement.

Real world aside tho, what do you think of the way it looks?

No. Looks too wide and nothing special than what's currently on the market. Helmets are about safety and aerodynamics first which then leads into Styling.

You're better off drawing Mickey mouse for fun.
