Reevu rear view helmet

Juniper Foo | Dec 30, 2005

It's taken 10 long years to find a way to plant a rear-view mirror in a helmet, but UK company Reevu is finally ready to rock and roll with its MSX1 helmet. For bikers like a team mate who recently had a harrowing close encounter with a road hog cabbie, this is good news. Though one suspects that having 180-degree peripheral vision at a glance will take some getting used to, much like wearing bifocals for the first time. Reevu claims the patented multiple mirror system is made of unbreakable reflective polycarbonate rather than glass, and that pillion riders won't block the view; though unless your passenger is a Hobbit, we're not too sure how that works out. Still, with an Italian touch behind the helmet's design, you're at least assured of looking seriously cool.
