• Inflatable Liner: This is an integral part of the helmet design. Through an oral valve, the liner has the ability to inflate or deflate accommodating the user's head size. This system allows the 'tension of the fit' to be adjusted according to the situation, resulting in increased comfort, additional buoyancy and improved heat retention. Patents applied.
• Gecko Visor: The visor is specific to the helmet and manufactured from Lexan Polycarbonate. The material meets the highest impact requirement of BS4110 Eye Protectors for vehicle users. Its good optical qualities allow full peripheral vision and permit the wearing of spectacles or sunglasses. Press studded to the helmet it provides easy attachment/removal and allows the visor to detach should it become caught, reducing the risk of neck injury. Also provides UV protection.
• Foam Comfort Pad: The 15mm thick circular comfort pad supplied provides cushion protection to the top of the head utilising open celled foam. It is removable for washing and secured in place using a Hook and Loop system. Replacement pads are available.
• Gecko Ear Defence System:  The Black Nylon blanking unit is fitted inside of the rubber grommet. When in place it provides ear protection from external noise such as engine, wind or inclement weather. It can be removed for improved acoustic clarity. Alternative vented option also available.
• Strap Assembly:  This retention system consists of 19mm nylon webbing riveted to the shell at two point fixings. The Patented Fastex 'click' closure buckle allows one hand release and quick adjustment to the strap length. Offset side buckle aids access in emergency and prevents contact with windpipe. Looped end aids tensioning and neoprene sheathed comfort tube helps prevent rubbing.
