"the visor port, as you would on any full face or flip up helmet.
I hope you don't lock up your lid using the chin straps "

MD you are right of course, guilty on the second charge (ocasionally)

TWB; the chin cup is adjustable....

I like the idea, but with the close fit at the neck, and limited ventilation in that area I can see lots of fogging problems with that helmet too. Sure you can open up the visor but then rain, snow, hail and cold become a problem.

I use the D ring on my helmet strap to lock it to my bike and to carry my helmet frequently. Is that bad?

I like the Vozz helmet concept, but if it restricts chin movement and mouth opening, that would be a deal-breaker for me.

I though it was a specific UK law that you must have your helmet strap done up, so there is presumably something in the law requiring a helmet to have one.
I've now found the law states the helmet must be securely fastened, so they might be ok. That will depend on the exact wording of the E22-05, which I've just looked up. Section 6.11 covers the retention sytem.

The helmet is required to have a retention system which fastens securely under the lower jaw.
If that retention system is a strap, there are many further requirements on design, construction and fasting methods, but it does not have to be a strap...

The only part where the Vozz might struggle on the retention system is 6.11.7 - the means of a quick release mechanism must be self evident. As an unconventional helmet, the standard release is NOT self evident, if you are only used to standard helmets. The catches to release the helmet must be red (which they are on all the helmets I could see in the video), and other nearby parts must not be red. The red helmet he uses for some of the demo should therefore fail.

His bar code for emergency release is also not self evident.

6.11.7. If a retention system includes a quick-release mechanism, then
the method of release of this mechanism shall be self-evident.
Any levers, tabs, buttons or other components which need to be
operated to release the mechanism shall be coloured red, those
parts of the rest of the system which are visible when closed
shall not be similarly coloured, and the mode of operation shall
be permanently indicated.


I've only looked at retention systems in the regs. There may be other rules in there, which would be far harder to overcome...

Having said that, the Vozz website does suggest in the FAQ section that it is already AS/NZ, DOT & ECE certified.

The reference to the chin strap was only to do with using the chin strap/D rings to lock to the bike. Bad Idea. Thieves just cut them! And they are a pain to re-install. This happened to me in round 1980, lost a nice helmet that day.

I have no clue regards laws regarding chin straps, only that I never use mine to lock to bike. A short cable works well run through chin bar, just be careful not to
scratch shield where the helmet hangs.
