Dear friends,

we are 3 electroplating engineers and we start 2007 our own factory.

Now we have finished our first chrome helmets.

surface: Nickel, Copper, Nickel, Chrome ~ 60 µm

I need your sincere opinion about design and may we have a good opportunity for sales market U.S.A. - or not ?

Sorry, our Website is only in German, but you can send e-Mail if you have any questions. Please write with very simply words... Thanks.

 

I like your helmet. How much do they cost? Will there be a distribution center in the USA?

 

I think there would be fingerprints all over the helmet from taking it on and off. Am I right???

 

I'm not sure about the space age detail, like the black inset below the ear, and the visor.
Honestly I think they'd sell great with cafe style bikes.
If you offered one w/out the extra details, I'd buy a copper one in a heartbeat!
-although you might, haven't seen the web-site yet...

 

The price is 225 $ incl. 2 visors and shipp.

Yes, you see all finger prints. But you can easy polish with glass cleaner (hot water + alcohol).
The surface is high gloss like a mirror.

@jhmp the finish is always real chrome.
The galavanic layer are to the first nickel, galvanic copper 25µm, galvanic nickel 15µm and finish is chrome 0,9 µm = 120 gr. real metal
Helmet weight = 1.250 gr.

 

Copper would be nice.

 

After the electroplating with copper start the corrosion with oxygen.
4 weeks outdoor is the surface complete green.

 

Copper would be cool, but I do understand it turning green. It would be a pain to keep it clean all the time.

I do like the looks of the helmet. The interior of the helmet looks first rate also.

Good Luck

 

I like the blond model on the website. Any issues with noise due to the visor 3/4 down position?

 

You guy's do beautiful work. In the construction industry you can get copper with a clear coat to retain the shinny look for exterior use. just a thought, I'll bet they would sell.
