Helmets : Tour X Alternative from Simpson

Very interesting. Simpson don't seem to bother with export markets, never have, so I doubt we will see this for sale on our side of the pond.
It may not be a true alternative to a Tour X as it is a GS3 MX helmet with a screen attachment. Could be better for actual off road stuff but more of a problem at higher speeds.
Seems a lot cheaper though at $149 for the helmet and $100 for the screen and fixing gubbins. The screens cost $40 once the thing is set up for them.
I am not sure that the visor can open up fully to rest below the peak as the Arai does, difficult to tell but to me it looks doubtful.

The visor also doesn't shut properly... as with all Simpsons! When it is down there is a small gap for ventilation, good for off road crap for our weather!
Pity as I like Simpsons. When I first past my test 10 years ago I order a white one. They sent me two by accident. Of course I sent one back...and got a black Super Bandit as well
Noisey, heavy and water runs down the inside of the visor but it looked great. Still thinking about getting another one just for the pose.
