Product Description |
| The DOT approved VCAN Blinc 210 is a slick, modular street helmet packed with a unique blend of safety, comfort and high-tech wireless Bluetooth functionality. Its tough outer shell has a slippery, aerodynamic design for fluid movement through the air, while its one button, flip-front allows for an unobstructed view. Multi-position chin and top vents keep you cool, and also dry when the weather won't cooperate and the drop-down "Blast Shield" sun screen has an easy-to-use one-handed lever, allowing a great view on bright sunny days. The VCAN Blinc 210 also keeps you plugged in via built-in Blinc 1.2 Bluetooth technology, allowing you more freedom by giving you the opportunity to use your cell phone and/or other Bluetooth enabled devices. DOT Approved Safety and Comfort
Although the VCAN Blinc 210 is hot on technology, the primary focus is safety. This Department of Transportation (DOT) approved helmet is constructed of ultra light thermoplastic material and is aerodynamically shaped for ease of cutting through the air with less buffeting and wind noise, thus lessening the stress on the riders neck muscles after a long ride. The face cover lock mechanism exceeds expectations for safety by utilizing metal pins and hooks, making it extremely resistant to opening in the event of an accident. The flow through ventilation system helps keep you comfortable, while the anti-scratch, quick release and sun visors help keep your perspective clear. The inner lining is fully removable and washable. Finally, the VCAN 210 comes in 5 different sizes and 5 different designs to fit you and your personality perfectly. Safety and performance in 5 sizes and 5 exciting designs (Flat Black shown).

 Great helmet |

| I just received the helmet and fell in love with it. Maybe last year it was mono but mine came with stereo headset and the music sounds better then most headphones i own. I did notice the sound going in and out though while driving. I will see if that will get better. But for now I'm very impressed. I will give you a update if I find any problems. |

| This helmet had only one speaker in it. It connected easily to my Ipod Touch but then I realized I couldn't get my tunes in stereo, big let down. I also had problems with it keeping a charge. After charging for 4 hours it only worked for a few minutes. It fit OK but seemed to be quite heavy. |
Poor performance

| I bought a VCAN Blinc 210 when they were first introduced over a year ago. Sadly, even even the new ones suffer from the same poor performance. The shield didn't seal, or even make contact with the seal on the helmet causing a LOT of noise. The helmet itself is LOUD, and the volume on the bluetooth receiver is very poor. The initial advertising, and even the FCC registration for the electronics state the bluetooth is a2dp stereo capable, which it is in fact..but they didn't plug in a second speaker! 2 months after I bought the helmet, it was knocked off my counter to the floor (about 30" drop) and the liner separated from the shell. Be advised, this helmet is marketed under 3-4 different brands that I am aware of. The bluetooth module is the identifier, as it is manufactured by the same company that actually makes the helmet shell. |

I have 38 years riding experience and have always worn a helmet needless to say I have owned more than a few helmets.
The VCAN 210 has some good features and few quarks.
1. The internal Flip down sun visor is excellent!!! Makes riding much more enjoyable.
2. The latching mechanism started out stiff but works well after 4 or 5 cycles.
3. Peripheral vision is better than most modular helmets and some full face I've had.
4. Chin vent is a joke with little airflow as it opens away from the airflow.
5. Top vent works better but not as well as it should.
6. It also has a non-removable chin flap that seals the bottom of the helmet to you neck. This will be very welcome come cooler weather but in summer it makes for a very hot head.
7. The blue tooth works well enough - good sound and the mic does a good job of noise reduction and I have no problems talking on the phone at any speed with visors and or modular unit up or down.
8. Getting the blue tooth to linkup takes patients.
9. Headphone comfort takes a while to get positioned just right but once positioned correctly for your head they are comfortable and cause no pain on long rides.
10. Overall I like it and am glad I bought it. |
Decent for the price

Since the price is a little less than half of a performance helmet, and also includes Bluetooth, I believe it to be a good value.
I rarely wear a helmet, typically only in rain or when there's a good chance of rain when I leave in the morning. I have two other full helmets which see little use but I wanted to listen to tunes if I had to wear a helmet. So I ordered this one. After a full week of wearing this helmet in the rain I've come up with my own impressions:
The Good:
Stereo Bluetooth sounds fantastic.
Syncs easily with my Iphone, easy to take calls and sounds clear. Easy to change volume with gloves. I took some calls while waiting for a freight train to pass. Awesome.
Sun shield is nice - my other helmets don't have one, but not having to brings shades with me was nice.
I haven't worn down the batteries with almost 3 hours of riding through the mountains. Easily charges.
The clear visor seals pretty well for me, though not air tight. At 75mph on the mountain highways it's not bothered me at all.
The not so good
This thing is heavy. You notice it. I wore it today in the rain, but seriously thought about taking another helmet just for the lighter weight. Perhaps this is because I'm not used to wearing a helmet, but is heavier than most others I've worn.
The pads inside seem fairly cheap and typically the velcro sides scratch the hell out of me until I situate it. There's no just throwing this on and riding, I'm always spending time adjusting it.
Seems to fog easily.
The real question is, how much does a bluetooth system for regular helmets cost, even if they're made. If they could put the bluetooth system in a lighter, better padded helmet it would be priceless. However, the cheap price is perfect for me, and I choose to have to adjust after putting it on just for the sake of having music.
