Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Yes yellow:

In fact, this is something very interesting for clubs and teams:
WIth an order of 200 units or more, we can replace the colours with a colour of your choosing, as long as the pattern stays unchanged.
That sounds like alot, but some clubs actually use the helmets for fund raising, so it's sort of like an investment.

Have you thought of a custom-fit cover for winter/rain riding?

Not only have we thought of it, it will be one of the next things to start prototyping in the near future.
We want to develop a winter/rain cover for the helmet with ear protection, but it has to allow for the lens glider to be accessible.

It will be done within the next 12 months I figure.
