Title: Reevu MSX1
Post by: roguegeek on November 21, 2005, 02:05:36 PM
Official debut of the Reevu MSX1. First helmet with a built-in rear view mirror system. Sorry if it's a repost.

Reviews say that the mirror is poorly angled for sportbike riders, if you tuck or lean down just a little bit your view changes to nothing but sky.

Sounds like a cool idea, but you need to be able to adjust the view...

Knowing my luck, it wouldn't fit my head anyway.   :(

Very interesting idea, as long as it doesn't interfere with the primary purpose of a helmet.  If it doesn't affect the safety of the helmet, I hope it catches on.  I'd be interested in at least trying one on.  Every little bit of info you can gather on what's going on around you is worth it.  :)

But before I consider buying one I want to hear some crash test results.   ;)  8)
