Its ironic that we start talking about medieval helmets and find ourselves talking about archery...albeit a much more advanced version

Ah ha  WoOk needs a good man with an AXE ..Boomer ... estimate about 95 tonnes to split ..free beeeeooor and grub included :mfr_lol:
Which brings me onto lightening . .what Viginia like for lightening strikes Jim ? Me thinks like my fir trees it would be a bit messy afterwards.
However as this is a motorcycle site .. after a lightening strike wearing aforementioned steel helmet ....would you be like a portable capacitor and jump start motorcycles any were F.O.C  :mfr_lol:

well, that's different,  on first viewing it looks so wrong, but it just could be so right

Interesting to say the least   :yes:

Certainly a different concept..but something I'd have to try on first.  Definitely wouldn't buy without making sure it would fit first.

oooooh, that's nice ZED  ..rare and expensive too   :clap:   

In 2000 I bought an Arai RX7RR which I wore regularly until about 2009...I couldn't bring myself to part with it so I had it professionally sprayed to exact Joey Dunlop Replica colours...it's carefully packaged in a box in the loft

Just had my new lid delivered today.
Replaces my 5 year old Evoline2 that has been the 2nd best lid I have ever owned.
Best was the Lazer Evolution. I had 3 of those over 12 years and one accident which damaged #2.

Shark is my everyday helmet i have a Speed R and i think it is the best helmet i have ever had.

OC - Painted the helmet myself ( winter project a couple of years ago under the paint its full carbon fibre shell ) as a tribute to one of my all time sporting heroes. There is only one in the whole universe!!.

The concept has been around for ages but the designers didn't want to skimp on quality or sell the design to an established manufacturer, so it's taken a little while to get this far. They're supposed to be very comfortable and quiet as they curl further around your neck. Also safer too with no need for a chin strap. Haven't tried one on myself.

New thinking that....  And modular too.....  Wow wondering it can still be strong with big impact...
Nice idea anyway
