Keep cool, says Rossi

MOTORCYCLE SUPERSTAR Valentino Rossi has been working in collaboration with Italian helmet giant AGV to help racers keep a cool head when out on the track.

Trials have been conducted to assess the benefits of using ice cool gel packs within a rider's helmet to help fight the heat build-up during strenuous GP racing. The special pockets have shown that they can help reduce the rider's inside helmet temperature by up to 10 degrees celcius.

The new system was designed "thinking of the bikers, who always complain about the heat in summer due to the helmet so I tried to imagine how to apply the technology to reach us in the cold on this particular user,"  explains Massimo Mortarotti, administrator of Dispotech, the company behind the original idea.
