Traditional Helmet 1st Pics Sneek Peek!
« on: December 07, 2009, 02:45:39 PM »

Right having had two samples turn up this morning I have positioned the grill holes etc to give a rough idea of what the helmet would look like. The helmet is in its raw state currently so you lucky lot get to see what it looks like in a raw state. Still some work to be done on them such as trimming the vent holes so ventilation is present but hope you can see how our design process works now.

As you can see it is constructed from 100% carbon and Kevlar not merely a veneer layer on top of fibreglass etc. This is where the helmets strength and lightweight properties come from and when paired with the liner help to improve the safety aspect as well. Anyway enough nattering onto the pictures.....




Look forward to hearing your views, feedback and thoughts upon it. ???

Cheers

Tom

Will be in the same region as the other helmets as a first thought, certainly wont be cheaper due to the high end materials being used in making them.

Yes they can be supplied like this which was our original intention until the Pro's said that the glare from them would cause problems for them! Nobody wants another Dickie Bird shouting at them for a glare off of their helmet!!!!

Although with the English climate i doubt we will see any sun to cause such issues at the moment.

Cheers Chaps, glad 1st impressions are positive, helped to gauge interest from the concept drawings and take feedback on board at that stage about the vents etc. Hope the final version lived upon expectations!

If people show interest in ordering it may well be pushed through for a public launch as several Pro's have been awaiting its arrival patiently
