Pretty cool concept, and not a bad looking helmet. Anyone seen one of these in person, or used one?

I thought i would get myself a new lid.
I was reading up and thought i would by one of these reevu helmets which i bought from
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170649318506&var=&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT
I bought the graphic one and at first it was strange being able to see behind me but after awhile of getting used to it i was amazed by how well it works.
I normally get vipers or hjc lids and i thought they were quiet on the road.
So anyway i just thought i would say hi and does anyone know where i can get a cheap leather from?

I've only have mine one day.... driving about 15miles is all I've had time to do since delivery this eve.....
My first impressions......
Very nice finish.... one tiny blemish the size of a dime I found in the paint, but very hard to see. Strong solid clear coat.
Quality comfortable fit hands down... quality all the way around... really cool quick release neck strap, removable liners and shield.
It gets warm pretty quick with all the cozy padding when just standing around but ventilates well when moving on the bike if the vent is open on the top of the helmet... the first click open on the shield does indeed stop fogging.
I got the silver helmet with the extra silver "mirrored" shield..... Its perfect... I heard the smoked is really dark so I veered away from that one.. besides with the silver shield on, I'm not sure if you look like an alien or robo bug the most???.... but whatever, its a cool look for sure!
The mirrored front shield matches the rear window that is also silvered.... definitely a wicked looking helmet in person.
Lets talk about the most novel item... THE MIRROR!
The mirror "rearview" is definitely cool and its hard to not drive while looking in it all the time because its so cool to see backwards!
The mirror could use some perfecting IMO in respect to clarity and distortion.... if you look very very close you can see irregularities in the image as you move your head from side to side... but keep in mind, I'm pretty picky...
But lets face it.... after light comes through the round rear window, hits a prism to then in turn bend down to hit the mirror, we have the makings of a simple binocular.
The small mirror has the challenge of being shaped in A perfect way to allow a sort of panorama both sideways and up and down.... a bit like a long rectangular stick on side mirror "if you will".
Because of this, things are closer than they appear as with any bent convex type mirrors.
While you still don't get true "full vision" without movement of the head "helmet", you quickly learn how similar to using new glasses, progressive or bifocal.
I'm guessing people who have ever worn progressive or bifocal glasses will acclimate much faster to this new concept and trickery with the brain.
Even while looking in your rear view mirror in your car, while you look to the right of the mirror, your really looking to the left... the brain quickly adjusts and its totally subconscious.
Adjustments of the Mirror:
It swivels up and down on the fly with the fingers, but once adjusted for your head, you shouldn't need to mess with it again.
I found when letting others try on my helmet, the tool to raise and lower the mirror comes in handy... seems if someones head is a bit smaller, the skull slides a bit deeper into the helmet necessitating the need for adjustments to the mirror if they were going to do more than merely check it out.
*Just like adjusting your steering wheel, seat and mirrors in your car, its a bit different for each driver.
Even your side mirrors need that!
Just don't let anyone use your helmet and your good!... LOL!
A tip......
I found if you use the tool and adjust the mirror all the way "I mean "all" the way" to the top, it closes the mirror and its not usable.
On the other hand, if you adjust it down as far as it will go, not only do your risk it getting in the way of your line of sight, but you may start getting bits of light refecting in such a way so that you see light "spots".. or rather "spots of light" along the top of the mirror.
The perfect adjustment IMO is to:
1. lower it all the way till you see light sneaking through the top of the mirror....
2. now while your tool is still on the adjustment slot, adjust one click at a time upwards till no more light sneaks through and all is black except what the rear view mirror reveals through the sight out the back.
Brightness?
Its totally usable with no shield or when the shield is fully open, but when you close it all the way or nearly all the way, the experience changes.
Your eyes adjust to the dark "shield is closed" and the light coming through the mirror is crisp and bright.... but not so much that its bothersome.
I actually like it best with my shield closed or nearly closed.
I can't wait to go driving again tomorrow... it got dark just too soon.
--------
Another note.... when changing the shields its quite easy once you figure it out... the lever pulls down "on each side"... you put the round fitting in and at the same time there is a hook that grabs in the slot that opens up when that lever is pulled down.
You know its right when your shield is one with the curvature of the helmet and clicks are solid as you slide the shield up and down.
I know 400.00 bucks seems like a lot, but any decent helmet cost you 250 to 300 bucks.... as cheaper ones are uncomfortable, flimsy, and are not innovative in any way.
I've tried many helmets. I use a half helmet and since its gotten colder I needed a full helmet so started shopping.
My honest impression is that even if this helmet didn't have the cool rear view mirror, its still worth every bit due to its solid comfortable construction... I give it 5 out of 5.
While another 500.00 bucks would most likely give the optics of the mirror the same quality of a binocular, thats not the intention..... trying to read street signs and looking at babes in the rear view mirror will only get you killed.
Its for locating vehicles... nothing more.... same as the rearview in your car.
The removable liners are cool as sooner or later the pads get nasty, stinky, and smelly... now you can wash them!
It also has a removable rubber nose guard.
Helpful I suppose if you were driving in near freezing temperatures, but I prefer it out... so I'm just keeping it tucked away in a pocket on my cycle in case I think I may want to put it back in... but it will have to be stinkin cold!
Hoped my review was helpful... I tried to include all the things I didn't find when I did my homework on this helmet digging through forums and reviews before purchasing.
This is the only forum I've posted my review on... guess I just had to tell someone... so I'm done.
