Is this just vaporware?
Did you read their website lol
Xnito does not exist yet. The other two do
This topic is about these light up helmets in general, I just happened to talk to Xnito which is what led me down this hole

One feature I wished more helmets had is communication like the Sena smart helmets. I wore one when I did a Segway tour a while back, I looked stupid on top of stupid but thatās another story. Iām not sure which one they had but the guide was connected to like 10 dorks rolling around the city talking for an hour. This would be great when you ride with others instead of screaming into the wind

Lol Iāve gone on two group rides this year of 40+ people
Itās all location dependent I suppose
Edit: Group rides like this are not for everyone though I get it, it can be annoying at times
Itās the thing we do here in Southern California with 95% summer weather, 100% drought and we ride as a HOBBY vs a transportation device
I agree, I avoid certain group rides because of some a-hole riders

I just want an HUD so that I have an overlay for directions for when Iām skating the last mile somewhere I havenāt been to before. It doesnāt have to be integrated with the helmet; makes it more bearable to replace a helmet either because itās already done its job or itās too old.
I hate how Glassholes ruined Google Glass for everyone.

I feel like lights and bluetooth should be a bare minimum for any ātech helmetā
thereās some $1000+ helmets on kickstarter and the like with HUD (or at least promising it)
the tech exists but itās expensive, and currently only really used in cars.
TBH Iāve been perfectly happy with lights, music and handsfree phone calls. only thing I wish my current helmet had was a smart assistant.

Helmet that massages my head and picks up radio signals, or I donāt want it.

I donāt need lights or heads up displays or anything smart in a helmet. Show me full face helmets that are rated for multiple falls like skate helmets and Iām sold. The full face market is all based on motorcycle riders and rated for one use when our sport has a higher percentage ability to fall and hit your head. $150-300 isnāt reasonable for a helmet rated for one fall in a sport where youāre gonna fall constantly. The market is geared towards low speeds (skate helmets) and extremely high speeds (one use full faces) and the biggest thing missing is a market for mid speeds, 25-50mph that can handle multiple hits.

Maybe the increase in escooters will help? Iām with you, Iād love to have a properly rater helmet for multiple impacts rather than eating the lose or taking more of a risk

Totally agree
One alternative is to just not fall, which some people are better at than others. Iāve only fallen twice and hit my head 0 times and I ride pretty hard, but not everyone has this experience. Obviously Iām still going to wear my helmet anyways in case I get hit by a car or something stupid happens
The other alternative is lower price, and I just canāt imagine that happening
I didnāt actually know this was a thing, what would determine when it was āusedā all the way?
āWhat would determine when it was āusedā all the way?ā
Great question, Iām not sure what the full answer is to that. What I can tell you is Iāve still feel safe riding in my 5 year old Bern DOT certified skate helmet and thatās absorbed every fall from when I was a noob to now. Itās survived two 35+mph falls without so much as a crack in it. That said, Iād feel safer in a full face but itās hard for me to commit when I host rides weekly and could have any number of potential falls over a years time. Back to your question again though Iām not sure what the gauge is on a multi-hit helmet. Iāve considered replacing this old bucket soon myself, considering I know itās age, all of its wrecks and what itās been through.
Sure I guess you could just go slow all the time and never fall, Iād rather pad up, have a little fun and prepare myself for the worst, and or the best day out riding. What does factor into the ratings seems to be based on the materials used: Multi-Purpose Helmets

I use a DOT rated motorcycle helmet and Iāve fallen in it probably 6-8 times and so far Iāve broken the sunglasses latch slightly and the visor popped off and wonāt pop back on, but otherwise itās still been holding up fine. I am looking into a new one anyway though.
