Just to clarify your error...That would be Ken#3 and not Ken#2.
Ken#2 is BR
My new helmet is Black and not Pink Like the skirt that Rip is wearing in the pic.

Cheers
Ken (K3)

edited ... sorry that bottle was me drinking this morning at 9am. okay before you all comment i work GY Shifts so thats like night for me.

Charly helmets are paraglider helmets so IMO they are a little better than say a Mtn Bike Full Face Helmet. its a very light, and you have more forward and side view.
i do a lot of road biking, so weight is drag, and grams = lbs after a while of riding. probably has no real reason but its shape is cool, I didnt think a Time Trial Bike Helmet would look as cool.
you'll see a lot of Euro Kitebuggiers use them, I put on Arie's helmet at NABX and wanted one since.

the writing on the kite, thats the prototype RII 2.2 i did the PR on, so the boys at PL / Xxtreme wrote on it.

Wow, if there had been a link in that last post, I'd have sworn it was spam.
