No, it's not used. Factory muffed, antiqued if you will. So don't go and try to return it. We just decided to make it look that way. Not "distressed" like the bill on a Frat Boy's visor, but more like Optimus Prime after he's done kicking Megatron's ass.      * DOT and Snell M2005 Approved     * Fiberglass/Dyneema/Carbon fiber shell     * Imported     * Rubatone Finish-Rubatone paint is a special formula of rubberized polymers and vivid color. A helmet finish like no other...this rubberized "grippy" surface was developed for the sole purpose of matching your riding gear. Its flat appearance and distinct feel give you the street style that you've been looking for.
