Title: GN helmets
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on November 16, 2015, 10:05:22 PM

Hi All

One more for the retailers, but I'm curious about the helmets from GN this season.
I know there is a lid that meets the new safety standard (the test opener?), but isn't this only available with a steel grille?
I was wondering if they make a compliant helmet with a titanium grille, and have they produced a stemguard/neck protector type do-da to go with them?

Atomic, Test Opener and Omega XRD are all compliant to my knowledge

No titanium, the omega has a 'chrome' grille not sure how chrome it is in reality, maybe just an effect, I will need to consult a spec sheet

Stemguard nothing yet but being discussed I think.

Thanks Jake.
I may be annoying you about these at some point tomorrow (as well as my new twig)  :)

It'll be chrome plated if it involves chrome at all, certainly not actually made of chrome.
