I love Shark for their designs, they have some great lids and I like this one. However I did find that once I tried an Arai and then tried a Shark on after they are just not in the same league. I will now go for comfort all the way. My new Arai is amazing as is really cushions my whole head. Its like your Mum is clasping your head to her bossom and making it all feel nice and safe!! lol

IMHO - try on lots of different brands first before going for one cos of the design.

i do like the design, will help me get seen in the dark more(with my reflective rim tapes :D). i have a shark rsi already and i like the feel, arai's are expensive though. as long as it passes all the Eu tests though im happy.

cool do they do a more many version as it looks a bit like flowers to me ...... lol

and ^ i carnt stand arai helemts nether can my dad even thogh he has £300+ worth of tour x3 that he hates wearing gives him massive headaches even thogh if fits properly, and i think they just look bland apart from the rx7 monster one.

roof boxer v all the way :P

[Rammsteinkid]

its not flowers, lol it a huge Shuriken, and they are cool.

i know but idk to me just looks a bit girly or it could be the color it glows in :/

[Rammsteinkid]

Shhh!!!.....................

[barwel1992]

haha lol :P

now if it glowed in red it would be seriously cool :D

[Warthog]

That's cool! Not sure how long it would glow for, as the light fades slowly and is not that powerful. Might work better if you leave it indoors in strong light then go out at night.

I got a Shark RSF3 - sooooo comfy! Arai and Shoei didn't really fit me.

From Scottishbiker :"The photo-luminescent paint recharges after 30 minutes in daylight and will glow for 20 hours before it needs to be recharged."
I think that is a bit ambitious but still, it glows.

No. "Glow in the dark" has been used in kids' toys/crayons etc for ages. It's phosphors, or at least man made chemicals which behave like phosphors. The phosphor is energised by light and radiates simple visible light.

I believe there are versions, like in watches, that use a radioactive element to energise the phosphor so it does not need to be exposed to light to "charge", but it's harmless.

It's a subtance called Tritium, inside a phosphorescent compound coated vial. Very cool :)
