2011 Premier Helmets Collection Celebrates the Brand's 50th Anniversary

The Premier brand was founded in Westminster, California back in 1961, and moved to Italy in 1987. Celebrating its 50th anniversary next year, the company has recently presented the 2011 motorcycle helmet line, which includes a flip-up, a full-face and an open face helmet.

The Dream Liner model is the flip-up option in the new line, weighing in less than 1.500 gr. The shell is moulded in trycomposite materials (Carbon, Aramidic Fibres and Dyneema).

The open-close mechanism of the mouth works through just one button. The inner lining is fully removable and washable, and is made using only anallergic fabrics with Sanitized treatment. The chinstrap is equipped with a quick release buckle with micrometric regulation.

The ventilation system consists of two adjustable air vents on the mouth piece and one on the upper part on the shell to permit the entrance of the fresh air inside, and a rear air vent which allows the exit of the hot and humid air.

The new visor mechanism is adjustable, allowing the removal of the new strong visor without any tool. The transparent polycarbonate visor is moulded with the injection method, and has a thickness of 2,2 mm (0,09 inch), prepared with both anti-fog and anti-scratch treatments.

Next, the Premier Angel full-face helmet is also made in trycomposite material (Carbon, Aramidic Fibers and Dyneema), but a pure Carbon version is also available. The inner lining is fully removable and washable, the anallergic fabrics with  Sanitized treatment guarantee great comfort, while the chin strap mechanism is a quick release system with micrometric buckle.

The ventilation system uses two adjustable air vents, one on the mouth piece and one on the upper part of the helmet, and also a rear spoiler which allows the exit of hot and humid air that has been created inside the helmet. The visor mechanism has a new mechanism, that can be activated with an instrument that is included in the helmet box. The visor, injected with polycarbonate, has a thickness of 2,2 mm and has an anti-scratch and antifog treatment.

Finally, the Jet Vintage open face model is has an easy-to-use internal sun visor which is placed between the internal and external shell. All the other characteristics are similar to the Dream Liner and Angel helmets.
