I've read over and over the differences between the ECE and Snell tests.... Here, read up a lil' yourself. I dig the ECE rules for testing, Snell testing IMHO doesn't quite make sense.

Yea I'm done with all of these "start-up" helmet companies... Akuma still hasn't come out with either their photochromatic or their T.O.D. visor...

Now thet are coming out with this...supposedly...http://akumahelmets.com/products_gator-glass.php

Ahhhh didn't realise that was the case w/ Snell.


Yeah they were supposed to, and I asked, they said they were still trying to work out some deals between the other manufacturers.




Oh and the whole "shield won't last a year." That's about how often I go thru shields, w/ all the rocks and stuff that get kicked up on the roads it scratches 'em up pretty good and pretty quick.

Heck,you should be happy then. I had the same bitch with Arai and their $70 iridium shield that scratched 5 min after install

Had an Iridium on my Shoei wa sa similar situation, I think I had it a day though.... sucks for you Tigger.

interesting, looks to me like you could separate the tinting part and slap it on another visor pretty easy

That's my feeling too. It looks universal but I guess this one is the proto-type so we'll see what shakes out but it would go well with my Shark helmet.
