Last Saturday I went to the Motorcycle expo in Sydney.
I came across a helmet called LUFT this helmet is Australian engineered and is a 100 percent Australian owned company. Eric Falkenhagen and aerospace engineer and inventor produced this helmet.
It is a full face helmet and has a full airbag inside the helmet, which is inflated by a finger operated pump inside the chinguard, it is deflated by a button next to the pump.
This helmet fits all head shapes.
And for the medics amongst you it actually activates and bleeds air to the opposite side of impact to prevent contra coup injuries to the brain, should one be unfortunate enough to take a blow to the helmet. No other helmet does this.
For further information go to
www.luftracinghelmets.comBy the way this helmet weighs 1600gms. I emailed the man to get this bit of info.
Helmet weight seems to belong to a secret society, few helmets have the weight printed on them.
My mate and I weighed two identical Nolan N102 helmets and came up pretty close to the manufactures claims.
My son who raced in a Australasian Desert Safari took a set of scales to various shops to come up with the lightest helmet possible.
Just hadn't seen the Luft mentioned here so thought it might be of interest. Retails around the $569.00 mark
