This beautiful helmet arrived today. It is truly the coolest looking helmet around. It is certainly the lightest helmet you will probably find (1361 grams). The attention to detail and the effort toward
perfection will become
immediately apparent as you inspect the
construction of the
helmet and the liner. These were my first
impressions and my road test starts this week. One other thing:
when the UPS driver handed
me the box, I though there must be
a mistake, this box is too
light to contain a helmet. This is not only one of the lightest helmets available, but it comes with a Transitions® SOLFX™ photochromic visor. A Transitions® visor will change from clear, when little UV light is present, to sunglass dark in proportion to the intensity of UV light. This is the same technology Transitions® uses in prescription eyeglasses. Here's my 'First Use' review. This is easily my favorite helmet in my 30 years of riding. It is a perfect fit for my head. It's very light and stable. So far I have been on two rides. I got off my Ducati, after 120 mile ride with engery. Usually after a ride of this length, I am fatigued. I think that turning your head with a normal helmet taxes your neck, leading to fatigue. I did the same 120 mile ride earlier the same week with my old helmet and was tired and fatigued after that ride. But with the Phantom ll I have energy to spare. (The following description is from the Akuma website)
