The Fit:
The helmet is very comfortable and stays in place on the head. The adjustable back strap is a nice touch and works well. I noticed that the helmet is a little top heavy (due to the battery at the top) but in practice I didn’t notice the weight or experience any shifting.
The Style:
I love how the turn signals are seamlessly molded into the contour of the helmet. It’s a very good looking helmet and I got a lot of compliments on the design. The helmet seems very aerodynamic despite its added features and I did not notice any wind noise.
Function:
I love the brake light function of the helmet, I think that is genious. The turn signals are very bright and I noticed cars behind me were more patient and gave me more space when they saw the clear flashing turn indicator.
The headlight is bright enough to serve it’s purpose and does not add too much weight. I have ridden with other headlamps on my helmet and they feel clunky and too heavy. Only one thing I would like is a way to turn it on without the remote.
The remote control is small and unobtrusive, however I did find it hard to operate with gloves on. While riding it can be hard to feel or hear the click of the button. Sometimes I was uncertain of which button I pressed because I needed to keep my eyes on the road and couldn’t look to see if I was pressing it correctly. It would be nice if the remote had two small led lights to indicate if the turn signal is actually functioning. Or even a very small beeper in the helmet itself to indicate that the signal is active.
Overall I think it’s a great product that does add a lot of safety to riding at night.

Far more than expected. Bright enough to save your life! Taillight is tremendous – and turn signals if you want them are huge! A total hit!

I absolutely love this helmet very well made.It fits like a glove. I can’t wait for spring or all the snow and ice to be gone,
all helmets should have to have all these features just for the aspect of safety alone. your company has exceeded
beyond compare where others have failed, and if people ask me about your product I will surely brag about all the great features this helmet is AWESOME!!!

Have had almost 2 months of moderate use on the 2 of these helmets I purchased for my wife and myself and can say they work better than I was expecting by a great margin. We ride in Tijuana Mexico where the streets are in FAR worse condition than in the USA and bike lanes are basicly non-existent. Furthermore, drivers here tend to give cyclist less respect and seems more dangerous than in the states. Our solution to help combat this situation is lots of functional and bright lights! We are very bright in all directions. Seems to really help a great deal because cars MUCH much more often will wait for us at stop signs and intersections. Its like the % level of courteous drivers encountered goes up! The inteligent brake light really works well and the turn signals have the option to run them like hazard lights with the option to overide temporarily by using a turn signal. The remote for the turn signals had a learning curve of sorts for us but once figured out was a non issue. To activate a turn signal the button had to be pressed firmly but quickly or the signal would not turn on. If you press too slowly it did not work. Its just a quick press, not a long one. I am running the glint 100 in flash mode for the rear, another ms light. It is visible from very far behind as well. It is a very comfortable helmet and the weight of it does not bother me at all. I am also running the optional spare battery it can accommodate as well but works just fine without it. I can say without a doubt this helmet makes a huge difference in improving your presence on the road and is worth looking into. I will try to attach a video taken with my phone so not the best quality. Distance at start of video is about 150ft away.

Innovative safety lighting for when you are on the road. I am really impressed how this helmet works. I love the fact that there is an embedded speed sensor rear brake light. Not to mention it comes with LED turn light signals, I feel a lot safer knowing people can tell when I want to make a turn. The headlight is bright enough for people to see you coming and they work perfectly during daytime as well. It’s a bit expensive but it’s definitely worth the investment when it comes to your safety.

The helmet is an incredible creation. I wanted to tell you to add to the description that the blinkers cancel after turning. I was shutting them off by holding down the button until riding at night I noticed it shut off through the accelerometer. You need to tell people that, you have an awesome helmet, everyone should wear one.
