i would design for a keski or parna, "choti dastaar", not for some big dumalla...

here are samples of the highest (voluntary) standard for helmet construction for all types of vehicles in the US:

Snell Helmet Safety Standards

good luck on your endeavor, this is something i'd support.
Thank you.
It would help if I had pictures of those dastaars you talk about. Small keski, etc

Re: Sikh Harrased for not Wearing Helmet >> Invite Your Friends

how abt an adjustable helmet.

don't know if it feasible, but just think of a rose bud or those flowers that close their petals.

the base band can be locked on the place where the turban ends and the flexible metal "petals can be locked up on the top.

so depending on the turban size, person can adjust the helmet size

I stand with all SPN fellows who are saying either wear turban or helmet. Calling patka a dastar is laughable. The law that states" wear helmet" is designed for safety only. Why patka issue is brought any way?

the original post featured a photograph of a Sikh man in a patka, who felt he had been harassed for not wearing a helmet. he felt that as a Sikh, he should be exempt from helmet laws, even if he's not wearing a turban.

that's where the issue came up.

genius! Although, i have to see if it works on paper.

I ahve always tried to draw a Sikh version of master chief (from halo), I couldn't figure out a way to incoporate a turban into his design. so this is difinetly going to be a challenge.

Re: Sikh Harrased for not Wearing Helmet >> Invite Your Friends

Hi Amarsanghera

Please can I ask for interest, what "google" page you got this quote?:

"Sikh Hoay Sir Topi Tarey Saat Janam Kushti Hoay Mareh"

"A Sikh of the Guru, who wears a hat/cap (something other than a turban)
Will be reborn again 7 times in diseased lifeforms."

Rehatnama Bhai Prehlad Singh ji, p.65

Thank you,
