Some exciting news to break! Motorcyclist Magazine has awarded the Vemar Eclipse Night Vision helmet with a coveted Moty award for 2012. Each year, Motorcyclist Magazine singles out the best gear and the best new technology that improves not only the safety aspect of our fun little obsession, but makes it a little more fun as well. The last Motonation product to win a Moty award was the introduction of the Sidi Vertigo Corsa street boot. We are more than excited to have the Vemar Eclipse Night Vision fall into that same level of quality matched with innovation.
What makes the Vemar Eclipse Night Vision so special? Let's talk about an Italian brand helmet, made in Italy, and by a family owned manufacture that has a steep history in helmet production (Shark, Sparco, Ducati private label to name a few...) With quality comes exclusivity which is why the name Vemar may not be on the tip of your tongue when thinking of helmets. There is a reason you won't see 500 Vemar models sitting on the floor of your local dealer. Think about that Ford or Toyota dealership you drive past on your morning commute to work. Now think about that exotic car dealership that you have always wanted to go into. Same idea.
The "Night Vision" specific model of the Eclipse takes the already popular and excellent Eclipse model and ads a glowing paint scheme. This idea was originally produced for fire departments in Italy, but Vemar saw that offering this paint scheme to the public was a good idea as well. While other manufacturer's past attempt's at making a glowing paint theme came off as gimmicky, the Eclipse Night Vision comes in as a Hi-Viz safety feature that blows the door's off what was previously thought of as "H-Viz." I could write about it all day but check below and see for yourself.
