I couldn't find any reference to it on their website, but I've left a message, so we'll see what they say. Truth is my head took a really good hit, so I'm thinking my next helmet really ought to offer more protection than did the last. I was looking at the Scott Mips helmet.<br />I've killed a lot of brain cells over the years - gotta look after the remnants.babble onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895102832912891306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85530486549729740.post-54770781013422236892013-10-21T22:37:31.513-07:002013-10-21T22:37:31.513-07:00Kk. xoKk. xobabble onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895102832912891306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85530486549729740.post-83517185392228613732013-10-21T22:36:44.448-07:002013-10-21T22:36:44.448-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.babble onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895102832912891306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85530486549729740.post-78581784016237780182013-10-21T22:14:30.186-07:002013-10-21T22:14:30.186-07:00Lol!
