I had no idea Eastman made these. They surely can't sell very many , who would buy them ?
I like the materials.
Eastman sell them for £70...

Yes, these are nice. I bought one directly from Eastman probably around 2 years ago now. I actually wear it a lot since our winters are very cold, windy, snowy, and generally miserable where I live. The helmet covers 3/4 of the head and the B-2 jacket collar covers most of the rest of the face. It's cozy; geeky-looking but warm.

I'm guessing that these helmets are made from the waste cuttings of the redskin B-3s or B-6s so it's not a complete money loser for them.
