Blauer is an Italian maker that puts an emphasis on fashionable design. If you are looking for a retro styled motorcycle helmet with all the technology and protection of a modern lid, Blauer is certainly the place to look. Blauer helmets are not meant to compete or to be compared to sportsbike helmets. They fall into a category I would label as "fashion helmets" and that places them in the mid range for helmets of this style.
