10:25 reminds me of Corning's "vermillion" technology for sunglasses. The theory is that daylight is very blue, and when a reddish tint, or coating is applied to the lens, it increases not only contrast but chromatic definition. I had one of those glasses, and it is quite interesting; once you put it on things look quite pinkish, or magenta, but in minutes your brain ajusts, and things look incredibly clear. Then, after some time, when you remove the glasses, the world looks flat and blue.

Ski goggle manufacturers have been using that tech since the '70s. My favorite lens were rose colored. The best in my opinion is polarized.

this is why for street daytime riding I wear Oakleys with a clear visor instead of just a tinted visor. I definitely notice the difference
@marvaus Жыл бұрын
Oakley prizm lens use this technology. I use either prizm road or prizm golf whilst riding/driving on the road. With either lens, makes all of the colours "pop" e.g. reds look brighter.

Great video Simon, thank you! Having cracked my skull before and broken two helmets in accidents, I now closely follow advancements. Helmets such as 6D, Fly Formula (dirt only for now) and to a degree MIPS equipped helmets, are now managing impacts better than the traditional EPS (foam) liner. Concussion research from other sports such as American Football are driving advancements in impact management and leading to better performing helmets for all of us.

Please can Simon get hold of the details of Maverick's crash at The Styrian GP and show us what happened to his suit and how the protection worked and allowed him to get up and walk away from jumping off the bike at over 200kmh! ( I still can't believe or understand how he did that!) Can't wait for Misano today!....

The rose tint in visors is for blocking out blue light. All aviation pilots wear blue blocker glasses because when you remove excess blue light the contrast of the other colours goes up. For this reason eagles also have a rose tinted eyelid to help spotting prey. Blue blocker sunglasses also work well in marine environments....where there is excess blue light from both the sky and sea.

There is an interesting point about you could have given a little more info. The different type of fibers that are used in the outter shell of the helmets. There are some riders that in their helmets use a mixed of fiberglass and carbon fiber, others only carbon fiber, and others use another components mixed with the previous ones.

Love these Tech Talks and love Simon but perhaps someone can give Simon a Tech Talk about the clip on his mask. It bends and can be shaped around the nose so the mask stays over the nose and doesn't slip off. It would be a short video, but very valuable.
