Really appreciate your advice and recommendations. I want to make sure I check out all the videos you guys produce. Here’s hoping PEV’s come into their own in the future-they are fun and don’t destroy the environment like loud combustion vehicles.
Meteor winter glowes didnt find info about actual operating temperature. they are realy for winter ?
can they make hands be warm even hour driving when outside is wind and temperature -2 celsium ?
And does any of these helmets can protect head from injury if you ride 50 km h and fall ?
I’ve ridden them in really cold weather below 0 celsius and they keep my hands warm. Depends on how you hit but a motorcycle helmet may be the better choice for safety.
