D. THE HELMET
Reflective panels
Together with the silver reflective strips located laterally at
the back of the neck pad, the two reflective panels integrated
into the left and right areas under the visor plate help make
the motorcycle rider more noticeable on the road, especially
in conditions of poor visibility. If the helmet is plain (no
decoration), the SCHUBERTH name also appears on the front and
back of the helmet in a reflective film.
Note:
Keep the reflective safety areas clean.
