This is almost the flagship of the laser helmet company from Belgium. Its obviously pitched at the Shoei Syncrotec / BMW System 3 et al, BUT , and its a big BUT, its better than all of them in my opinion. I bought it new from Lintons in Ballymena and got a good deal.It's got a double glazed clear visor which is guaranteed not to fog up , and after three weeks of constant winter riding it hasn't.
	Now here's the cool bit , it also has a slide on the top, which when activated pops down a tinted/black interior visor, thus meaning that you're not breaking the law, the police cannot pull you for a dark visor , if it pops down underneath the clear one and can be popped back up !!!!
It also has one hand operation, and is very smooth to lift up
Another nice touch, is a rubber face mask, just like a jet fighters. Although it looks like a gimmick , give it time , you'll wonder why you've never used one before. It keeps your face lovely and toasty warm, and allows you to open the vents without freezing your teeth at speed !!!!
The only downside to this helmet is wind noise at speed. It's ok up to about 50, and then it gets noisy. I've tried it up to about 100 (On a private road , Constable !!!) and it's quite noisy, marginally more than my BMW system three it replaced. However in my experience with BMW, and using a friends syncrotec, they're all noisy to an extreme, its just a foible of an lift up chin helmet. And now for the bite, the price for my favorite helmet to date, £200 , yep £200 , in my book quite a good deal..... So rush out and buy one !!! Neil O'Brien
