Reevu MSX1 Helmet - Solid Colors The world's first rear-view helmet! Reevu has been the industry leader in rear view technology with their patented mirror system, manufactured from a reflective polycarbonate material rather than glass! The polycarbonate material is almost impossible to break, weighs less than glass and provides additional safety and comfort to the rider. The mirror system essentially bends the light around the shell of the helmet, offering a clear view of what's behind. The Reevu System works just like a car's rear view mirror offering awareness of the road ahead and behind without making a conscious effort as both are simultaneously in your field of view. Features Patented rear-view technology Tri-composite carbon fibreglass, Kevlar and synthetic hi-tenacity advanced fibre shell Fully removable and washable liner Anti-fog face shield Note Helmet ships with clear face shield.

Most of the great features have been discussed by many reviewers. All I can say is that if you do not purchase this helmet you are missing out on improving your motorcycling safety. After well over 25,000 miles I am SOLD on this revolutionary helmet system. The MSX1 changes everything and if there are any drawbacks they pale in light of the excellent quality and features of this helmet.
My detailed review at: http://rmpmotosports.com/wordpress/?page_id=742
Yes, I recommend this product.

Are there any reflectors on the helmut?

The reflection is from a mirror system that is installed above the head of the rider inside the helmet shell. It takes the reflected image from the rear viewport, reflects overhead and into the optic mirror part just above the eyes. The optic part is adjustable and it does not block any front vision (side note: it does block direct "in the eyes" sun, though, which is great).

How does the weight and wind noise compare to a Shoei?

I have an x12 and a RF1000. RF1000 being less noisy but a little heavier than the x12. (I wear a Medium). I'm curious about the Reevu but don't want a heavier helmet. I suspect it may be quieter.
Comparing to my Shoei RF1000 and My HJC CL-16 the Reevu MSX1 is heavier but understandably so due to the rear-view system components. This slight drawback does not affect my riding even after long hours including one Iron Butt Saddlesore 1000 ride. No neck or muscle spasms or pain at all even with my back problems.

Wind noise is quiet. Once in a while I like to hear the motor and I have to open up the face shield to hear what I want to hear (engine misses or other noises I should be aware of. Nice and quiet and warm in the winter.

does it work with glasses

are people with prescription glasses able to use this helmet?
Cannot answer on prescription glasses but my Oakley Gascan sunglasses fit comfortably (I'm sure they are thicker framed than prescription. I also have the Scala Rider Bluetooth with boom mic and still room with glasses.
