I do like it. I have been thinking a while about something along the same line, especially for commuting.

I do not have a problem with hand signals but to be frank, to remove a hand off the bars while riding, especially in winter, can be dangerous.

That is called an eyeglass mirror.

I'm very curious as to see what this company is going to do to conceal the battery for the LED's. Also, I am a bit skeptical of the price; LED'S at retail price are pretty expensive, not solely for the individual strips but also the battery itself needed to power the LED.
I feel like due to the materials being expensive, the price for this helmet is going to be too high for the average consumer.

But it does look cool, props to that

Me too. The link was broken, but I get the impression from the other posts that is is a helmet with turn signals built in. eh!

Although this looks cool to cyclists, I wonder if drivers of cars would actually pay attention to a lit up up helmet, or understand what it meant. Hand signals are more commonly understand
