Vozz Helmets – The future of helmets WITHOUT straps?

The future helmets have come down the overall safety package to the rider and Vozz Helmets might be the next big thing in motorcycle riding gear.

The two-part helmet is constructed in a way that it’ll fit the rider’s head and face providing multiple contact points between the rider’s head and helmet.
