Keeping the lid on without discomfort
A new product designed to dry and freshen crash helmets has been developed by Matrix Development Technology (MDT) in the UK. Dri-Lid employs a small fan to circulate a steady flow of fresh air which evaporates moisture and eliminates bacteria. It can be used by anyone who wears any type of protective headgear such as motor racing drivers, cyclists, powerboat pilots and equestrian competitors.
