Before your criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you do criticize them, you're a mile away and have their shoes.

Pretty cool. If nothing else it's a chance to find out what it was like when Darth Vader's masked lowered onto him.

I was skeptical until I watched the video. Pretty cool. But how do you lock it to your bike?

Heh, locking it to the bike might be a problem, you are right.

It really does have a chin strap, its just built into the front portion, and you don't have to undo it, and its semi-rigid.

Still, I liked my Schuberth (and other flip helmets) because I could flip the front part up to talk and it was still fastened with the chin strap. Could just flip it back down, lock it, and go.

I watched the vid on another forum. It's all over the motorcycle net. I wouldn't think it would be much different than a modular, safety-wise. Didn't see anything on price or weight.

More than a Shoei, around $650, not snell rated
and I'd have to get a hair cut too.

Interesting but I can't see myself buying it. As Rook mentioned, it may not hold up in a crash. Not willing to find out at any price. I like some open space under the helmet. Stops me from fogging up the shield.
