Not really a review (maybe someone has bought one) These were on display at the recent Leopardstown classic show .
I tried one on but the mirror fogged up (after all that walking around the show) and my glasses didn't fit very well into the helmet..
I did ask lots of questions but the answers I got on the day were a bit condescending , and involved , pinlock , my glasses , my current helmet, and even my optician Still, not to be put off maybe i'll try one again in a different setting. The xl was stamped 1600g which is a little heavier than my Xr1000.

I've been waiting years to see this lid since I first heard of it. I couldn't believe that it was so heavy. I pointed this out several times to the guy from factory. Each time he pointedly ignored me or tried to change the subject. I walked away.
Drop the weight by 350 grammes and I'll be a lot more interested.

It felt a lot heavier than my current helmet and I also pointed this out but the sticker weight is only 100gms heavier than mine , and as I didn't have a weighing scales with me I knew I wouldn't win that argument. In the past though,the sticker weight of any helmets I've owned have been optimistically light compared to the actual weight.
They're supposed to be good aerodynamically but it's unlikely I'll ever test that out without purchasing one....

I'll stick to lifesavers I think. Way too heavy.

I never thought to check tbh. Nothing is ever as it seems... or so it would seem.

This was my stand at the show >> aka BikeVis Ireland.

I am the sales agent for these Helmets and have been wearing one for the past few months.

I also own a Shoei and a Schubert Helmet, and A N Other, and whilst these hemets are slightly heavier it is not noticable out on the road, wether you drive down to the local shops or to the tip of the Beara Peninsula in Kerry. The reflective panel along roof of these helmets also makes them stronger and only adds 1/2 inch to the height of these lids, and a little extra weight.

The ventilation system is good and it does'nt fog up, unlike most other helmets.

So for anyone that doesn't believe me, you are more than welcome to try one out, and take it for a spin on you bike. This helmet is also quieter than most helmets on the market, and all the linings are removable for washing or for fitting a Bluetooth Intercom etc.

I carry all the sizes in stock, so please give me a call or email to arrange a demo.
