Hey,

I was looking around at helmets online today and stumbled onto these, I dig the badass DarthVader look but don't see any info on a US dealer or distibutor...

Interesting stuff, but pretty much overkill for mostly everybody.

HAHA clown show. why would you need something that severe?

WaterPog · 07-20-2009, 08:33 AM

Mostly because bandanas and neoprene masks suck ass, I hate having things right up against my mouth. This has some space between the mask and your face for airflow but still keeps the wind off.

i actually think it looks pretty bad ass, but it would all depend on how comfortable it is.

WaterPog · 07-20-2009, 09:12 PM

yea, the comfort and fit was my other big question. I sent them an e-mail regarding US distributor info and got a reply that they have something in the works and hope to have them in stores by snowboarding season.

Also found a Youtube clip of a demo:

it's too bad that the materials are basic and non-special
