Whoa! A stiff crosswind might give the wearer a severe neck spasm. I think it needs a fin on the front to balance out the forces.

Makes him look like that thing from the movie Alien
.

it looks pretty similar to the rev series helmets does it not?

i personally don’t see a huge difference

The difference is that these hemets meet UCI guidelines as saftey helmets, not just plastic head fairings. Look at the size of the helmet from a frontal view.

so does that mean he can use it in the US for USCF races?

So where can an average citizen get one o’ them there hats?

Looks like serious competition for LG and it’s about time those guys started protecting their heads. At 40 mph, you can do some serious damage to your melon…

i want that, too… where can i get it?

is it triathlon legal?

It’ll be legal for USAT if the maker submits it for testing, and it gets approved by CPSC (Consumer Products Safety Commission?). If it does, you should see CPSC mentioned on their website, ala Louis Garneau’s Prologue helmet.

From the front it makes him it looks like the helmets from space balls
.

i cant wait to see all the age groupers with pot bellies and P3’s sporting this new helmet, hicapie’s sunglasses, and the orca elite one peice tri suit.

    • Yeah, that’s what we need, more dorks on the course. That would steal my individuality… I’d just be one of thousands who bought all the toys because I’m too slow…

They don’t make you go any faster, but if your girlfriend takes your picture, panning with you and using a slow shutter, it blurs the background and you look really fast!
