Mr. Brown delivered my replacement helmet yesterday evening. I eagerly opened the box to see what, if any, changes were visible in the design. The first thing I noticed, was that Fulmer has upgraded the lining to a more plush, and hence more confortable, material. Other changes:

• They have added a small plastic snap to keep the loose end of the chin strap from flapping around (one of the few annoyances I had with my helmet before getting a windshield.)
• The flip up release button and mechanism feel tighter, as in better made.
• The overall fit and finish, including quality of paint and decals are better than my old helmet.
• The face shield appears to seal better against the shell. Hopefully this will reduce some wind noise (my other complaint about my previous helmet.)
• Finally, and it might be my imagination, the shell seems just slightly smaller. The chinbar seems closer to my face than my old helmet. Not uncomfortably so; it just feels a little… closer.

The new lid will get its maiden voyage this evening.
