Vozz strapless rear-entry helmet

[nerrrd]

Have seen this new helmet design in the news lately, looks good to me (as a glasses wearer) and meets AUS/NZ, DOT and ECE standards. Wonder if it'll catch on?

Oh, and cue endless double-entendre jokes...

well, since you asked....

I like the concept, thinking outside the box...

And, like you, I am also a wearer of glasses. However, having watched their video I am not sure you'd be able to put their helmet on if you are wearing your glasses. It seems that as the helmet slides onto your head the helmet's padding would dislodge your glasses.

Still a very interesting concept...

Got to be less wind noise, less issue doing up the straps and catching my beard :P

Unsure ... I like the one piece helmet - no chance of it coming open in a crash ..

It's a question that should be easily answered.

Dunno if it makes any difference, but the rider in the video on the Vozz website shows the helmet being removed without first removing glasses.

I see what you mean - interesting. I'd looked at the other two videos and had missed that...

Now for that famous Australian lady to appear... Emma Izit...

Glasses? Given you pull the helmet over your face not down your head glasses should be a piece of piss.

Interesting concept. One thing I noticed - it came off bloody quickly! Maybe too quickly .......

If you passenger pushed the button .......

If a MotoGP racer wears one then id be keen to, im wondering after watching one of the other vids if theres some sort of
regular maintenance with torque values on all those screws.

They can be ripped off thought when the fit is incorrect, and then when shit is worst case the way this (new?) idea comes on and off would be a lot more forgiving on any neck injuries.

Prediction: These won't be available in 3XL.

And, strapless rear-entry is not the most catchy sales phrase.

I remember trying a Reevu helmet with built-in rear vision 'mirror' on in Singapore during that assignment (about 6 years ago now). The enthusiastic sales guy was heavily invested in the concept - literally as well as figuratively, he had them stacked up in his house covering 2 walls - and mirabile dictu he had a 3XL size that fitted - but in practice, unless the fit was really precise, you couldn't see what you needed to see. I hope this Vozz design does better and I will want to try one when available - but as Hitcher said, usually helmet manufacturers don't cater for us fatheads

If it clamps under the jaw, then how do you talk? Or am I missing something?

Talk? One thing I enjoy about motorcycling is the lack of yack yack yack .

How tight would it need to be? Don't know - a standard helmet has enough movement in the strap to chat

I agree about the yack. I got the impression that for this to work properly it would clamp against a lot more jaw and be further forward than a strap, thus restricting movement more.
Having said that, however, I think it's a great idea.
