    6D Helmets

    While the latest and greatest motorcycles have come a long way, helmets have remained basically unchanged for some 50 years. Today's helmets are much more comfortable and lighter, but basic construction is the same EPS foam and liner surrounded by a hard shell, and are mostly designed for hard direct hits. The hit your head may take in the real world is not so straight forward.

    That is pretty sweet, wish there's more of these people that go above and beyond the minimum requirements and specs to revolutionize rider safety.
