Now here’s something new, Reevu’s MSX1 helmet features a built-in rear-view mirror! Reevu calls this the “Vision System”. The helmet relies on an entirely mechanical mechanism rather than rear-view cameras. There’s a small mirror in the front resting just outside the rider’s line of sight.

Oh, and according to WebBikeWorld.com the helmet is also really good at protecting your head ;)

I just got a newsletter from Shark. They’re launching their new Evoline series, appropriately called “Shark Evoline Series 2”. I have the original Evoline (read about that in this previous post) and I’m happy with it, but what’s new with this one? From the brochure it looks like they’ve upgraded the visor and the sun visor a bit and they claim the visor has a better sealing to keep away wind and rain. Now, I don’t have a problem with that on the original Evoline so that’s not gonna get me running to the shops – What else is new? 1cm extra padding which results in better noise reduction! Now that’s a bit tempting. Other than that there aren’t that many changes, but then again, why change something that works great!

I chose my helmet last year, it’s a Shark Evoline. It was quite hard to get hold of one and you had to pre-order them several months in advance, but I’m sure it’s going to be easier to find one this year. The main advantage of this helmet is that it’s both a half-helmet and a full-helmet; what I mean about that is that you can unhook the chin-guard and move it to the back of your helmet and the helmet will still be balanced. This is great when riding on warm summer days in the city and when you get back on the highway it’s easy to convert the helmet back to a full-helmet in a matter of a second. The Evoline is actually one of the few helmets that can be ridden legally with the chin guard in the up position. The only thing that I’m missing is integrated bluetooth inter-com but that can always be added on by using third-party accessories. Make sure to also check out 1200 Sport Blog’s review of this helmet.
