Wearing a helmet properly strapped on your head is mandatory in most states, and a good chinstrap must have the ability to stay fastened without stretching or breaking. The chinstrap is commonly regarded as an important part of most helmets. It is what retains the helmet to the head in case of accidents to avoid fatal outcomes. However, the Australian based company, Vozz, is changing the way helmets were known to be in the past with a new, revolutionary invention that totally ditches the whole concept of a chinstrap.
The Voztec system concept has been around for ten years now. During this period the concept had to pass through various tests and trials before Vozz finally headed out to secure trademarks in major countries like Australia, the United States, Europe, China, and Japan. An unspecified ISO900 certified helmet manufacturer took it upon them to carry out the trickiest part of the logistics, enabling the Vozz RS 1.0 to be officially on the market.
The Vozz RS 1.0 is a truly remarkable helmet due to the most attractive and yet baffling feature of all; the head access point. The helmet has a vertical splitting mechanism that pivots at the top around a fixed hinge towards the back of the shell. This enables the head to slide in easily with enough space provided, and stay in retention via attaching the locking mechanism present on the joined parts. According to Vozz, this can be achieved easily while wearing gloves or even glasses. The concept enabled the inception of a new design of the helmet’s underside, with a extended and much rounder chin cup surrounding the head, thereby, relieving the use of a chinstrap. As long as the two lock mechanisms have been fastened, the helmet will continue to be in the right place and cannot be removed accidentally.
The Vozz RS 1.0 has been designed in a way in which an emergency exit is available in case of accidents. Emergency personnel can easily take off the helmet, by losing the two screws holding the upper hinge in place, in a split second without applying much pressure to the driver’s/rider’s head. The Vozz RS 1.0 is available in three various shell sizes and offers three expanded polystyrene (EPS) liners. The chin cup of the Vozz RS 1.0 is another admirable feature, whereby the chin cup has the ability to extend due to the simple slider mechanism present behind the cheek pads. This addresses the problem found in full face helmets, where the same shell would have to fit all faces regardless of the chin size.
The Vozz Rs 1.0 would be available in the central company store at East Frenchs Forest near Sydney, Australia by December 15. Vozz also has plans of setting up dealer stores in various locations worldwide. However, anxious patrons wouldn’t have to wait that long, as the company’s web store will be online by December 23; also, the long awaited price tag will be brought to light by then.
