To celebrate a decade of riding dapper for men’s health, The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride released its Decade of Dapper Helmet Auction, in partnership with helmet partner, Hedon. The auction, which went live on September 30th, brought in some big winning bids for the special helmets.

Out of all the helmets to go under the hammer, this Joel Clark lid brought in the highest bid at $3,500.
