Hi, Ride magazine March 2010, tested for 450 miles?? page 52.
Their view, good overall performance, quiet, well sealed visor, interchangable lining, ratchet chin strap, tester quote "most snug fitting lid I've worn all year".
Only thing not liked was the coating finish matt black.

Hope that helps.

Probably the single greatest development in motorcycle helmet safety since the introduction of the first full face helmet.
In my opinion.
.
When they can introduce the same technology onto a patterened helmet it'll be copied by every other manufacturer going. But a very nice man from England was the inventor. Took him years too. You saw it on Lazer helmets first.

Hmmmmm, Handy if you have a head that is bouncing down the road and not attached to the body.

The test shown in the vid above doesn't represent a real body as there is not a representation of the neck muscles attached to the body in the test. This would significantly change the rotation outcome.

Roll a Cricket ball on a table and it rotates. Hold the cricket ball and push it along the table and there is a rotational force that is easily overcome by your fingers.

If you fancy testing it, just put your helmet on and drag your head down a wall. Does it turn your head or does the helmet slide along the wall? Can you prevent the helmet from rotating with your neck mucles?

I'd want to see the test repeated again with the helmets on test dumies and the cross painted on the top of the helmet.

... and if you knock your helmet on anything and burst the membrane (how many times has your helmet rolled across a car park of been knocked on a door frame etc.?) its all over.
