I feel sorry for their knees - they're always crouched on the floor - does Asia have one chair and they take it in turns?

I thought they were going to put an Arai stickers on. :shock:

(Be interesting to see a vid of how the helmets we all wear are made for comparison. I'll have a rummage).

Edit: Quite boring with polycarbonate lids. Injection moulding. Still lots of manual stuff - by people standing up not sitting on the floor.

It'd also be interesting to see one of those put through the same testing as mainstream helmets.

A couple in each batch might do quite well. :)
