    Has anybody heard of new design helmets that let you see what's directly
    behind you?

    I overheard some guys talking about them in Elizabeth St this morning but
    they couldnt tell me the name of the company.

    Christmas hasn't arrived yet, so there's no way it's April yet!

    I believe it is called "turning your head" and "using your mirrors", iirc.

    There is an article in the December "Two Wheels". It channels light from
    behind on to a small area on top of the visor. Developed for racing so they
    can see what is behind them, maybe prevent accidental collisions? Can't
    recall the company.

    How often do you collide with someone directly behind you?

    It was an article in the motor guide of the herald sun
    The helmet has been developed and will be brought into production but
    not in australia atm
    I'ts no joke it exists.
    the mirror sits above the eyes and works by some sort of prismatic
    reflection.

    I've got a pair of stick-on eyes on the back of the Nolan, but I have
    trouble with focus even at moderate speed.

    Just on this Lid with the rear view technology, I emailed Reevu for
    some more information.

    Here's the reply, but I've returned his email asking whether "All
    Markets" really includes Oceania or just all Euro/US markets.

    Dear Sir / Madam

    The production shall be at the beginning of 2004. The reason why we
    launched the Helmet at Milan in Sep was to ascertain the reaction from
    distributors that represent the motorsports market. The technology and
    the helmets astounded everyone as well as the motorsports enthusiasts
    as you can imagine. The helmet will be available for all markets and
    will come with all of the relevant standards in sizes range from XS to
    XXL. It is manufactured to the best available technology with anti
    scratch anti bacteria and real ventilation system made in Italy. 10
    years of research and development have gone into this product to give
    the consumer the best available product at this time. The helmet will
    be available in Black and Black Matt And Silver and Silver Matt. The
    price will be circa 350 to 400 euro depending on Local taxes. And
    transport. That is approx £258. Keep checking our web site for
    updates of distribution after Jan 2004. Hopefully the product Images
    will be available in the next couple of Months to be viewed on the
    web. At www.reevu.com and also coming to a place near you in 2004.
