    That is absolutely fantastic, top notch, I'm putting my order in now. However, there is one thing missing. I'll need some way to comfortable carry it off the bike.
    What I'd suggest, is a couple of nylon straps fixed to the inside and hanging out the bottom. These can then be connected together with some kind of device, possibly like a seatbelt catch, or even two little D's that you loop a strap through. It's be Perfect then.

    Obviously the manufacturers never thought about something like that, what a great idea GD.

    Don’t know if it’ll catch on though :rolleyes:

    Still, if a friend bought one of these, the fun you could have with a little application of contact adhesive before they leave :joy:

    I wouldn't fancy buying version 1.0 of anything with a new design ...… especially a strapless helmet.

    Lots of incidents over the years with "conventional " helmets coming off And killing people.
    Where's the supporting evidence suggesting they won't at the moment of need?

    That maybe true, but consider how many individuals wear helmets every day? Of those that do come off, how many were fitted and secured correctly? In good condition?

    I am sure there are a great deal more people that aren't pushing up daisies because of their helmet.

    If professionals racers start wearing them, then I will consider them...

    The Idea behind this helmet is , once you have had the proverbial accident, the First Responders can remove the helmet without doing any further damage to the Riders Vertebrae , the helmets are designed to remove the rear panel by taking the top pivot pin completely ! Then you lift the facia off, oh and it has a strap of sorts, it's built into the chin/cheek area ...!
    It's a great idea being Poo Poo'd by the old hands !
