Rear entry (easy boys!) helmet

Time will tell if this is a keeper or not but happy to see a revolutionary new design on the market.

A solution to a problem I didn't know existed. Is it just for bald guys?

[B.D.F.]

'Too narrow to get my head in.....' 'Open it up to accept my head'. 'The solution is rear entry.....'

Oh man.

But seriously, that does look interesting but unfortunately it would kill a feature of a modular helmet that I really like- the ability to flip the front up without taking the helmet off or undoing the strap (I use quick- connect straps on my helmets and while fast and easy, they do require me to remove both gloves to strap / unstrap). Still, I bet that is a very quiet helmet without a chin shield.

I don't like it.  It ain't natural.

I think it is pretty innovative.  Might make for less noise.  Also good for not disturbing earphones when trying to get the helmet on.   But not for the claustrophobic

[Sideways ONTOPIC]

Guy goes to a psychiatrist and gets a Rorschach Test (the ink blots made by folding paper into wet ink). Dr. shows the patient 10 blots and asks the man what he sees in each one. He answers:

1) Two people having sex.
2) Three people having sex.
3) Two people and a cat having sex.
4) Two women having sex.
5) Four Chimpanzees having sex.
6) Squirrels having sex in a tree. But not Kirby- that would be disgusting.
7) His cat, sleeping and dreaming about sex.
8 ) His dog, watching the cat have sexually charged dreams.
9) The first time he had sex.
10) A man lying in a peaceful slumber..... from having sex.

The Dr. tells the man he has an extreme preoccupation with sex, bordering on a personality disorder.

The patient looks at the Dr. with a shocked expression and says in exasperation "You are the one with a folder full of dirty pictures!".

So you see, I am merely responding to what others have written, referred to, pointed out and frankly, seem to be obsessed with.... TO ME! I am the normal one, in fact, I am trying to hold everyone else back by throttling them with warnings that you may have noticed (Easy Boys!).

Or, fun is where you find it and I find it absolutely everywhere.

 

And that still looks like a very quiet helmet, no matter how perverted the inventor or users may be.

Good point about the earphones or earplugs.

I wear Skull Screws (seriously, look it up) and they have a long, plastic extension (Easy Nicole! See, just trying to prevent any non- family orientated..... excursions) to make insertion and removal easy. Unfortunately, that plastic jams directly into the speakers in my helmet, both ears, and so I have to take every single pair and cut the 'stem' off with a set of wire cutters I carry just for that purpose. That helmet just may fix that whole issue, and for those who do wear earphones, not pull on the wires as all other (other than half helmets) tend to do.

This reviewer didn't seem to think too much of the test unit he tried.... .

I get around that problem by carefully pulling on the helmet.  Then attach the chin strap without touching the wires, letting them lay near my neck.  Then I thread the earphone plug and cord around the chin strap and back through.  Then I can tug on the wire all I want and it will not disturb or pull out the earphones.  Necessity is the mother of invention.  I have had lots and lots of practice.

Occasionally on a ride, one of the earphones will start coming out.  Not because of the cords, but just because they didn't seal that well to begin with.  If it is not bad, I will wait for the next stop.  If bad enough, I will stop and redo it all.  Very rare, maybe twice a year?

I am far more likely to be forced to stop by having to clean the freaking bug guts off my freaking shield.  Got a taste of that this weekend near dusk...  they are in full force right now.  Blech.

What happens when you crash-will EMTs try to turn your head around the "right" way?

Don't be on a dark desert highway with cool wind in your hair without LTE coverage. Otherwise the EMT cannot scan the code for instructions. Are EMT's trained to look for such a code for instructions on how to remove a strange helmet? And if you're on your back how do the scan that code anyway?

[VirginiaJim]

Not me, but I will be on a horse with no name riding in the desert cause there ain't no one to give you no pain there.  Probably won't be wearing a helmet, though.
