What makes this "helmet" stay in proximity to the head during a crash? I ran ^find on "chin", "strap", "retention" and "retain" without result. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ |

Oh, and not an exploding neck collar that doubles as a helmet when it explodes. I remember way back when the subject of helmets first became popular. This was way back when that "pudding bowl" British helmet was in common use. See below for pictu https://www.bikebandit.com/blog/trac...orcycle-helmet There were several articles in motorcycle magazines condemning the visor on these helmets which was blamed on several motorcycle racers having broken their necks in crashes. Now we have nearly every bike helmet having a visor like forward projection. It makes one wonder whether "style"enters into helmet design :-) By the way, the reference from Bell Helmets above is: "for riders who hold nothing back... if you are a rider who loves to shuttle to the top and then shred all the way down, this helmet is built for you.

" Bicycle helmet visors disappeared for several years for that and also eye damage from shards of hard translucent plastic visors. When visors returned, the current designs are softer plastic and breakaway (falls off) design. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

Look how beautiful they are! So many people wear them everywhere just because of their dashing good looks. I've seen them jauntily worn at symphony concerts, art museums, night clubs and more.

Perhaps a helmet AND ear muffs are necessary if one attends Symphonies. By the way, the reference from Bell Helmets above is: "for riders who hold nothing back... if you are a rider who loves to shuttle to the top and then shred all the way down, this helmet is built for you. " Gosh, no risk compensation there! sarcasm off I went back and re-read that advertisement and I think that they are saying that if you love to lead the pack and then blow up and"shred" all the way to the back then this is the helmet for you. But every time the helmet/no-helmet argument comes up I'm reminded of a post I read here, years ago, wherein the writer stated that the most important points in selecting a helmet was (1) light weight, and (2) cool to wear. -- Cheers, John B. |

Cheers I didn't think that Aviation helmets, or at least Air Force helmets, were a full coverage helmet as they had to be open in the front to use an oxygen mask. -- Cheers, John B. |
