Has anyone heard anything about this helmet? Or seen/worn it? It looks like a cool alternative to the receptor bug and I think it looks pretty sick. The pic bellow is Jon Olssen pro model.

Seen it worn a lot by racers now as soft shells start to become outlawed in SL events. It covers the ears and more of the back of the head. Ive heard its comfortable, but I prefer my Receptor over that. It looks sweet though when combined with Yniqs or POC Corneas

lol I could never drop $300 for a pair of goggles, i'd be using this helmet with a pair of lobes. It sounds pretty sick.... maybe somebody might have a review of it...

I havent ever seen it used with lobes, but I would imagine it looks fine. POC does a great job of making sure all their gear goes well together.

I can ask around and see what my racing friends think of it and get back to you

anyone that uses a SS in SL is retarded and deserves to have their teeth knocked out

There are softshells that allow chin guards. Its more for the safety upon crashing and hitting the side of ones head as well as other issues
