    Default Stack hats

    who used to have a stack hat? someone told me that they are illegal now because they're unsafe. Is there any truth in this? everyone had them when i was a youngen. mine was black and i thought it was so cool.

    In the eighties and early 90's stackhats were the only helmets. well as far as i knew. They were big and they had chin straps with the rings instead of clips and they came in all sorts of cool colours.

    A helmet is the device, "Stack Hat" was the model name of Rosebank's very successful hemlet. Due to it's popularity though, the term "stack hat" became synonymous with the term "helmet"; similar to the way in which "perspex" is widely used to identify acrylic.

    Anyway, I had two stack hats, a fluro green and an orange. I think my brother had a white one; they're probably still around somewhere.....

    had a stack hat for years. it finished it's life as a hockey helmet. exactly the same design as the helmets that bauer made for ice hockey, but 1/4 of the price. mine was yellow, and we added blue stripes for the team look.
    old resolution "you promise to stop being a moron, and i promise to stop pointing out when you are!" lasted 23hrs 15mins.
    new resolution "act like a dumbass, i'm gonna tell you". seems to be working so far.

    ahhh, we were a family of stackhat wearers...personally i had a white one, my brothe that taxi orange colour and my sister a lovely pink one... those were the days. We used to have visors for ours as well...

    I didn't think they would be unsafe, they were pretty bulky and tough as far as i can remember.
