and i've been to a helmet factory in Italy,and it was very very impressive. especially the test they did even on a lexmarx poly helmet with and without the lining.

Without the lining the 100mph test went straight thru shell, with the eps lining and the padding it bounced off, so looking at helmet couldn't tell it had been bashed, but you take the comfort padding and the eps lining was damaged. which most people wouldn't know. Utterly amazing.

The visor bit was impressive too, most people moan at prices of visors, but you look at one before they've finished it and it's disorted images, wouldn't be fun would it? You'd be crashing into parallel parked cars or something!
