Vinz

Helmets and locks, from the same shelf

Two very different kinds of product

Helmets in four families — full-face, flip-up, open-face and adventure — and chain locks.

That spread is unusual. Most brands on this shelf sit in one aisle.

What the chain locks publish, and it is the best table in this catalogue

ART 4 — a certificate from an independent foundation, not a house scale. ø11 mm links. And the whole range in one bullet: 120 cm at 3.8 kg, 150 at 4.5, 180 at 5.6, 200 at 6.2, 300 at 8.5.

Nothing else in this catalogue publishes its range as lengths paired with weights. Choosing a chain is choosing a length, and every extra centimetre is weight you carry or leave behind — that table lets the decision be made before the purchase rather than after it.

Where to look on the helmets

At the homologation. A helmet is bought on the approval printed inside it, and the marking on the shell is what settles what a listing claims.
