Brembo Helmets?!

Brembo, the legendary company known around the world for their brake systems, has teamed up with Italian helmet company New Max (The same company who worked with Momo Design) to create a new line of safety helmets.
What is so special about these helmets? It is something called the AFB or the Automatic Fit Belt fastening system.

Here are some pics from the Brembo site:
As you can see there will be an open face and full face option.
For more info please visit the Brembo site.

Here is a couple of clips off youtube with a little demo on how the AFB system works.

Very innovative.

I like the full face version with the large visor for good visibility.

As you can see from the first clip, Europe and Japan will get their paws on these first. Availability in Australia? Well, a few months ago, whilst I was getting some stuff from Sable & Argent, I got chatting to their staff and was told that they were working to getting these helmets into Australia. I haven't check back since but if you live in Australia, there might be hope yet.
