| 05/29/2001 | Lazer Downhill HelmetsWhether its the high-speed, dangerous world of downhill mountain bike racing, or the burly, high impact world of freeriding, riders can never take their safety for granted. The second they do, they have a good chance of sampling the local geology on an up close and personal basis, and may even get severely injured.
For this reason, most downhillers and freeriders have embraced the level of safety only a full face helmet can offer. In many crashes, the additional cost of the high dollar helmets is more than made up for in saved medical bills, not to mention the precious ride time! A trade-off that riders have grown to accept in exchange for this uncompromised safety is the decreased airflow the designs offer, causing an accumulation of heat and perspiration. Anyone who has smelled the inside of a DH rider's helmet will testify to this.
To solve this problem, as well as the obstacle of allowing a close-fitting helmet that protects the entire head from impact, Lazer Helmets offers the exclusive Morpho system in both their full face models, allowing a custom fit to any head size and shape. The padding of the Morpho system is also removable and washable, ensuring not only a one-of-a-kind fit, but will likely result in faster race times, as riders will no longer have to hold their breath because of the smell within their old, smelly full face.
