What makes this "helmet" stay in proximity to the head during a crash? I ran ^find on "chin", "strap", "retention" and "retain" without result. Look close here http://hub.chainreactioncycles.com/w...5/986A1953.jpg Looks like they use Double-Ds, so by definition, adjustable while being worn. The Bell Owner's Manual for the full face helmets say a double D ring, as you suggested. -- Cheers, John B. |

Oh, and not an exploding neck collar that doubles as a helmet when it explodes. I remember way back when the subject of helmets first became popular. This was way back when that "pudding bowl" British helmet was in common use. See below for pictu https://www.bikebandit.com/blog/trac...orcycle-helmet There were several articles in motorcycle magazines condemning the visor on these helmets which was blamed on several motorcycle racers having broken their necks in crashes. Now we have nearly every bike helmet having a visor like forward projection. It makes one wonder whether "style"enters into helmet design :-) By the way, the reference from Bell Helmets above is: "for riders who hold nothing back... if you are a rider who loves to shuttle to the top and then shred all the way down, this helmet is built for you. " -- Cheers, John B. John, the visors on bike helmets are very lightly attached. Almost any blow detaches them and it doesn't seem to me like they make any difference. I made the mistake of buying an MTB helmet without realizing that they are shaped differently. They are for an upright position on the saddle and when used on a road bike, they block your forward vision. |

Look how beautiful they are! So many people wear them everywhere just because of their dashing good looks. I've seen them jauntily worn at symphony concerts, art museums, night clubs and more. If they'd existed in Abe Lincoln's time, I'm sure he'd have traded in his top hat! If it saves just one beaver ... |

Top hats used to be made from felt which in turn was made from beaver pelts which in turn largely drove the North American fur trade. Cheers |
