    UXBRIDGE It may look like something out of The Return of the Jedi, but this helmet could help cyclists to breathe more easily, according to its designer.

    The “Breathe Air” helmet was created to filter out particles that irritate hay fever and asthma sufferers. It covers the cyclist’s nose and mouth with a shield behind which the filtered air circulates.

    The helmet was created by Luke Pannell, 22, an industrial design and technology student at Brunel University. When a manufacturer is found, the “Breathe Air” is expected to retail for about £100

    That *does* look like a birth between Vader's breathe mask and whatevertheyarecalleddriods from Bionicle. The practicality of that is questionable, too. How are is it to remove the mask? Cyclists need to rehydrate often, so unless that is a feature as well it would be quite cumbersome.

    you'll look pretty freaky and scary if you turn around to see someone looking at you with that helmet on.

    does it come with a suit?
