The concept looks very interesting but I'd like to try one on if possible
before buying.

Unfortunately the company is very coy about naming dealers/distributors and
it looks like the only way to buy is on-line.

I'd be interested to hear other folks experiences with them.

I think they are full of shite personally, I don't believe they are for
sale anywhere

Why? Have you stuck your head in one?

It would seem on-line is the only way to buy. Be nice to hear some feedback
from someone with actual experience.

Weird. Just realised that whilst I thought "anyone", my traitorous fingers
typed "any".

Apologies for any offence caused.

I think Donnie is close to the truth, you know, and you might struggle
to find anyone who has bought one - nobody here that I know of, for
example.

I also think that a helmet fitted with a lookbackroscope isn't the thing
for a new rider, TBH. You concentrate on what's about to kill you from
the front and sides, let behind take care of itself - but that look over
your shoulder is called a lifesaver for a reason and don't forget that.

And don't forget to cancel your indicators, Fatty.

I take your point about it not being a replacement for lifesavers etc. I
just wonder whether it might not in fact be the future for helmets. So many
safety features in cars started off as optional extras that many folk
disputed the need for- seat belts for example.

I'll probably not bother.

Damn! This group seems to have spies everywhere! ;-)

You're just sulking, still.


I saw one of those lids at a show once, some years back. It was not
overly impressive.

There are a few online reviews out there, including people who bought
one. Generally positive once they get used to them, other than having
to tilt your head up or down to point it in the right direction.
