Yeah, the article was saying that we're still using, basically, 50 year old technology. These new designs use laminates and carbon braces instead of styrofoam. This makes them lighter and stronger.

The point about helmets being so old-tech is a good one though

I didn't see the obligatory visor nib needed to open the visor. Maybe it's motorised with a voice activated command! Nothing worse than trying to flick up a visor with a tight ratchet. Or the whistling from a loose one.

The tech seems logical. Gel pads would be welcome for comfort.
