A new twist on motorcycle helmets. Rear entry. Not sure about the emergency removal procedure.

Interesting. I need to watch it again when I can listen to what he says.

interesting idea. I kinda like it. And you're right about the emergency removal, most body snatchers (EMT/Paramedics) don't have their phones on them when they get out of the ambulance, and I don't know of ANY that carry screwdrivers with them. I don't think any of my fire dudes do either.
Even without a cell phone that can scan or a screwdriver, paramedics will be able to remove this helmet much easier just using the normal method of removal. For a downed rider with a possible neck injury, that could be critical
Wonder how it works with glasses and how badly it fogs up -- didn't mention a Pinlock. I'd like to see one. I also wonder about how much you can move your jaw. I talk and sing to myself as I ride. You couldn't pop up the chinbar to drink coffee either.

Interesting. No mention of what safety standards it passes.
If I raced a bike I might be interested. For my riding...no.

Not interested.
I seriously question the lack of a chinstrap. You've seen all those wrecks where people fly out of their boots/shoes?

I like the concept. The only drawback this helmet has is that you have to change visors to go from clear to tinted. I like an internal sun visor like HJC and Bell has.

It is definitely different and it is impressive how quickly it can be put on and taken off but for me that in itself is not much of selling feature.
Its good to see manufactures trying to innovate in the motorcycle space. Occasionally someone does come up with a really good idea.

Way overpriced from my perspective. They'll sell because they're different, but no to me.

I visited Iron Pony (Columbus, OH) a few days ago making a cursory look for a replacement to my HJC RPHA Max. They had lots of helmets at $400+ with the Schuberth topping out close to $800.
