Has Anyone Tried a Reevu Helmet ?

[bccap]

Has anyone tried these ? If so is their fit chart accurate ? Have been reading some rave reviews on other sites. I wonder if they are available in shops yet. I really like to try before I buy.

I tried one a few weeks ago in the store. I don't know about the fit accuracy but it was a large which I usually wear and it seemed to fit like my Gmax and Icon lids.

I couldn't really tell how effective it will be on the bike but it would take a bit of adjusting too I'm sure. The image was clear but I wonder if it stays that way when you're moving.

While I like the idea of it, I think, for me at least, it could be abit disorienting When moving the head and looking at it. I felt a tad woozy when standing and doing that in the store.

I think you might get a bit lazy with it too and perhaps not do your head turns and shoulder checks. A fella I talked to in the store told me that a friend of his got one and he had started to notice his buddy starting this bad habit. Hard to say.

For now I'm sticking with my mirrors and keeping my head on a swivel.

They should be available in some of your bigger dealers I'd think.

Let us know what you think if you try one.

Cheers,

If you can see the places that used to required a head turn, I don't see a problem with not doing the head turn. So long as you actually check that area.

Think I'll phone around this morning and see if any dealers have them. The idea appeals to me as my vivibility isn't great with my setup. Let you guys know what I find.

Not personal experience but in reading a couple of reviews it seems that some have expressed discomfort with the degree in which they have to raise their eyesight to see the images in the iddy biddy mirror.

I am not sure that it is much different to the similar practice of shifting focus to bar mirrors.

I tried an earlier version - I'm not sure I could ride with it. Esp. at night. Just turning my head in the showroom, bright lights from displays were incredibly distracting flashing just above your line of sight.
