Great review Thanks Ambly! I love the photochromatic idea. I wish someone would perfect the product. But even at that for street or touring it is real cool. I am looking at the Wiki or one of the other brands that offers teh drop down smoke lenses inside the clear sheild...

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
