They seem a little unhinged  :)

Looks like we cannot see pricing for another 4 days  :shrug:

Looks like a great idea. It gives me hope that I may be able to get some choice in helmets.
As I have a large, odd shaped head I struggle getting in through the padding. This idea would solve that problem.

It will first need to be approved before it can be used.
I have never been much bothered by chinstrap discomfort.
The thing that I am still searching for is reduced noise.
Helmet companies often say their helmets are quiet but as yet they are not and it's one thing I am unlikely to be able to "road test" before purchase.

This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can.

The design looks like it allows a closer fit around the neck, which in theory should reduce noise...... possibly at the expense of ventilation making it prone to misting? Its an Aussie design and last time I was over there I didn't encounter many frosty mornings!!

Seems easy enough to get on or off though, especially if you're a specs wearer....



Internal sun visor and pinlock are a must have for me so in its current spec its not something that I'd be interested in buying but I will watch with interest...

I like the look of it to be honest and will make life easier for those that need glasses as well  :thumb:

I like it, but think I'll wait for the back-opening with added flip-front version... :eusa-doh:
