Guy gave me one today. He said he tried it, hated it and stuck it on a shelf. It came with spare face plates, manuals etc etc. Pretty much near new.
It seems to work ok, shrug
Anyone know much about these helmets? Plus or minus comments?

Optrel OSEvolution helmet?

Optrel was founded in Switzerland by a few engineers formerly with Speedglas.
They seem to work , according to most users. I just never liked the tiny windows.
Tiny window? Its at least the standard size rectangle.
Thanks

Compared to my Jackson Nexgen, Optrels have tiny windows. I got used to the big window, and it makes it hard to see anything through a 2 x 4 lens.
Once I used a large window, I never had another hood with a 2 x 4 window.

I've invested in a Nexgen, too, and I fell in love- I've got a leather headbag for tight spots, but I truly enjoy using my Nexgen more than any other hood I've had on.
