Thanks for posting that - very interesting. Could this be the future for helmets?

Ventilation looks a bit lacking but I guess it's prototype stage.

I can't help looking at the rain teeming down outside the windows, and thinking I can spot a potential flaw.

They say it's waterproof and sweatproof.

The TUV tested one that had been fully submerged under water for a week and it passed.

Hey, as long as it's seen worn by journos in the mags, people will flock to buy them!

Interesting. I wonder if the structure makes it difficult to add venting.
