Just got my SA2015 helmet few days ago. While fiddling around with it I noticed the eyeport is bigger - so I checked my old helmets -
Eyeport height -
- SA85 - - - 2.5"
- SA95 - - - 2.7"
- SA2005 - - 3.1"
- SA2015 - - 3.6"
Eyeport width -
- SA85 - - - 12.2"
- SA95 - - - 12.3"
- SA2005 - - 12.4"
- SA2015 - - 13.4"
What's going on - that's an increase of over 50% in area. Got to be less safe.
Now my numbers are not exactly scientific since I don't even know what make the earlier makes/models were but I did notice many manufacturers this year are advertising bigger eyeports. Looks like I may have to get some 3" wide tape to make my sunshield this year!
