If you go to the home page they have a buy link, but it's a email link to email them about it. So i'm pretty sure it's not yet available. Either that or it's so expensive they sell them on a custom order basis.

There's no way on earth I'd put 1839 gram (4.0 lbs., 7/8 oz.) helmet on my head. Back in the days when I was 15 and had my first helmet, Nolan N-something, it seemed very good with its 1750 gram weight and solid structure. Today, everything over 1350 grams is just unacceptable for my head.

I can understand the attraction, but it's not for me.

But as for the "already have mirrors" notion, Like thatch i see my shoulders in 1/2 of my mirrors, plus being able to see behind you w/o looking at your mirrors would be great. But yeah, weight would turn me away because weight is always a consideration of mine when looking at a helmet. Oh well....nice idea anyways

| | Posted : 09 May 2010 - 14:43 Post title : Re: rear view helmet ! (Re: daz) | | | It is a nice idea. I have a hard time using the stock mirrors - they aren't wide enough. Turning one's head is great for lane changes, but not for seeing behind in general and this system would solve that. Perhaps they'll lighten the system over the years or license their IP.
