Hey everyone,

Thought I would share with you all a project myself and a few others have been working on for the past year and a half, that is now coming up soon to be made an actual product!

Are you fed up like us with having a snow helmet that has mounts attached to it with multiple components that have to be operated individually? Or losing parts when they fall off? Or when they are misplaced? We have invented the world’s first smart snow sports helmet! It has a 4K High Definition camera, helmet-to-helmet communication system, Bluetooth, WiFi, motion sensors for analytics, GPS, 6-8 hour battery, instant editing and social sharing and an impact sensor all safely contained within a helmet that has integrated buttons on the sides we have designed from the ground up. We call it Forcite Alpine.

If you are interested in knowing more or keeping up to date, check us out at Forcite Helmet Systems and register. We are having a Kickstarter in late September too for pre-orders so if our helmet is something you are interested in any support will be greatly appreciated!

We have been featured in TIME Magazine, Gizmag, Gizmodo and a whole bunch of others.

How do you see it as a distraction?

Would you sue Go-pro if a person hit you while wearing one of there cameras?
"I can't hit the pow yet guys my helmet is charging" :rofl3:
So how much money am I throwing in the trash when I take a head shot and need to replace my helmet?
As Brewtownposted:

my concerns are
1. how portable are the components on a cracked or damaged helmet/damaged component
2. foremost a helmet must be safe. what is the intent of the helmet, is it going to be a Multiple impact system,
how will this helmet help prevent TBI



What is the proposed warranty
Looking forward to the oncoming :storm:

:popcorn2:
Needs a selfie stick attachment on the forehead. :)
Needs those can holder thingys so I can drink me some brews.
And a can opener and a shoe phone with a cone of silence.
And a visor to block the wind on the chair so I can take my medication.
I think the idea is cool, but the implementation is the kicker. Safety, cost, the weight of the helmet are all things to consider- not to mention the quality of the components.

Needs some kind of anti drone artillery mounted to the top.
Go gadget go!



Just having some fun. I'm not totally hating the idea as it doesn't appear to have any sort of HUD.

You only have to take the tech they are talking about to understand this thing is gonna retail at the $1000 mark...! At least...! Price is not the issue, it is the usability and implementation and how well it works, it is all stuff i use anyway, i have a camera, i have bt headphones, i have an impact protection device, and i also use the airwaves... The advantage is i only need to charge 1 item with this... Will i buy one, not a chance without seeing how good it is...!

The other issue is of course not every helmet fits every head...!!!

I was talking to a friend the other day, he has something capable of knocking every drone in the region out of the sky...! Unfortunately it knows out every other electrical device in the area as well. And is only for military use...! But then he works for a company that produces this stuff for militaries so not surprising he knows all about the... Haha Would love to see it work... ;)

From the FB page: "The helmet will RRP at 799USD but will be around 649USD on kickstarter as a early bird option." Another post said $1000 AUD
