Q. Why is the Vemar carbon helmet so expensive?
A. Vemar’s Eclipse carbon fiber helmet is manufactured using a precise military grade Autoclave instead of the standard air bag molding system of its competitors. The Autoclave heats the carbon to the proper temperature which creates a chemical chain reaction that brings the carbon fiber up to military grade for shock absorption, without manufacturing using an Autoclave a carbon helmet will be light but will not reach its ultimate design potential for strength. Thus the Vemar VSRC carbon helmet is manufactured to the highest possible standards. This low quantity (only two helmets a day can be built with an Autoclave) production method ensures the most consistent finish, thickness and density is achieved with the 100% carbon fiber shell material

 Q. How do I change my visor?

 Q. What is ECE standard and how does it compare to the Snell standard?
A. The ECE standard is a motorcyclist specific standard created by the European Union. It was created using recent data from motorcycle specific crashes and injuries and is the only standard accepted for Moto GP racing. The Snell standard has had some revisions over the years but was created about 50 years ago from non-motorcyclist data. The Snell standard is not accepted for Moto GP competition. Note, there will be a new Snell standard going into effect in a few years that is much closer to the ECE standard…something to think about….For additional information on this topic please read the detailed report from Motorcyclist Magazine..
