Reevu: Rearview Cycle Helmet |
I decided to place the Reevu alongside another cycle helmet to show that the Reevu is slightly larger than most cycle helmets. I found it to be very comfortable for a one-size-fits-all helmet. There are velcro straps at the rear which I feel add to the overall fit. I also appreciated the locking mechanism on the neck straps which allow for adjustment while the helmet is worn.
I have tried to show a real world view of the mirror's image but this is difficult to capture. I had to use a close object to focus on and I had to use the camera's timer to take the shot as the helmet needed to be placed completely over the camera.
I had a few friends try out the helmet at work and the Reevu looked much better on their heads than mine!
Overall I am satisfied with the design and do not feel that the rearward view will be too distracting when used in an outdoor environment. I guess it will take a little time to adjust to having both front and rear views without feeling the need to turn my head when I hear something approaching me.
