The Shift Racing Agent Double Bypass Helmet is a cranium cover that vegans and vegetarians should probably avoid. The polycarbonate helmet is emblazoned with a giant cheeseburger dripping with mayo and ketchup. The top of the rider's head becomes the bun, adding a cheeky yet creative twist to classic [motorcyclist protection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zyon-smart-motorcycle-helmet).

As far as comfort goes, the Double Bypass Helmet boasts removable cheek pads, several air vent channels, a moisture-wicking comfort liner and an EPS inner shell. It exceeds the safety standards put forth by the [Department of Transportation and Snell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temporary-driving-licenses), a nonprofit organization that researches and tests helmet safety.

While the burger-covered Double Bypass Helmet won't add a calorie to your daily intake, it may inspire you to head to the local [burger joint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doom-burger) on your next pit stop.
