German style DOT helmet

Nowadays the German style dot helmet is very popular among bikers all over the world. Let’s just try to find out, why are bikers keen on the German attributes of the World War II.

First of all it’s necessary to mention, that biker movement was firstly completely apolitical and not connected with any political movement or ideology. Of course, some bikers are devoted to some political parties or doctrines, and they can even unite to their special style clubs, but mostly the movement doesn’t have anything to deal with politics. So, let’s return to the question of German dot helmets.

The point is, that during World War II it was Germany who had the best motorcycle manufacturing and motorcycle-riding armies. German motorcyclists considered to be the basis of the whole Army, which has conquered almost all Western Europe by 1941. And taking into consideration, that many bikers are interested in historical reconstruction, it’s quite obvious, that some of them are trying to reconstruct not only German motorcycles of the World War II, but even the style and appearance of a usual “biker-soldier”. So, besides other various apparel, they are looking for high-quality German style head-pieces.

Really, it’s impossible to find a helmet from WWII in stock. And at the same time it’s obvious that a biker needs special protection for his head. That is why German style dot helmet is a very popular biking attribute.
