Slayer Half Neoprene Face Mask

Can anyone reading this name me one Slayer song?  Sure, you have all heard about slayer, but most people can't name one of their songs.

Now Megadeath...That's a band. Why did we name this the Slayer Neoprene Half Face Mask?  Couldn't the boss name this the Megadeath mask?  They rock!  OK, they rocked with maybe one great song.

Let's forget all about Slayer and rock out to the one great Megadeath song right now:

Glow in the Dark Bone Breath Neoprene Half Face Mask

We can't decide what we like more in this customer picture.  Sure, we love the fact that this guy is wearing our Glow in the Dark Bone Breath Neoprene Half Face Mask, but what is up with the tank top.

Now, don't start thinking that I am some huge tank top hater.  I have the Abraham Lincoln Abolish Sleevery Tank Top!  But, I also have decent size arms!

How long do motorcycle helmet pigtails last?

Hi, I purchased a pair of pink pigtails some 4 years ago when I lived in Scotland. They have been moved to three different helmets and yesterday - for the first time ever one fell off! This is a disaster as they are my trademark. I cannot seem to get it to stick properly this time and I wonder please - do the black suckers have a limited lifetime? Can you get replacement parts if so? I have made sure that the 'hairs' are not wound around the screw, but nothing seems to work. And finally I have moved to Bulgaria. Do you post to Bulgaria and if so do you have any idea of postage please because I'm sure I'll fall off without a pair of these on my helmet. :-D

4 Years, I am shocked they lasted that long!!!! But, the picture is awesome.

We all need motorcycle helmets. Yes, all of us. EVEN YOU, READER.

Are you working out without anything on your head? Almost certainly no. Are you lounging on the porch during a hot summer's afternoon in your leathers? Well, maybe. But most probably no. Are you dressed like a matador to go out and walk the dog at five in the morning? There's certainly a chance... but no. In all those situations, what you're ACTUALLY doing is putting on a motorcycle helmet and heading to do your thing.

motorcycle helmet aren't fashion. motorcycle helmet aren't for models on a runway. What motorcycle helmet ARE for are all those moments when you just can't bring yourself to care about what you've got on. motorcycle helmet are function, plain and simple. And that's why you need some plain and simple motorcycle helmet.

Safe motorcycle helmets made of carrot fibers

Crackpot idea or recipe for success? This is a question entrepreneurs often face. Is it worth converting the production process to a new, ecologically better material? Empa has developed an analysis method that enables companies to simulate possible scenarios – and therefore avoid bad investments. Here's an example: Nanofibers made of carrot waste from the production of carrot juice, which can be used to reinforce synthetic parts. All over the world, research is being conducted into biodegradable and recyclable synthetics. However, fiber-reinforced components remain problematic – if glass or carbon fibers are used. Within the scope of an EU research project, the Scottish company Cellucomp Limited has now developed a method to obtain nanofibers from carrot waste. These fibers would be both cost-effective and biodegradable. However, is the method, which works in the lab, also marketable on a large scale? An MPAS (multi-perspective application selection) method developed at Empa helps identify the industrial sectors where new materials might be useful from a technical and economical perspective. At the same time, MPAS also considers the ecological aspect of these new materials. The result for our example: Nanofibers made of carrot waste might be used in the production of motorcycle helmets or side walls for motorhomes in the future.

Three-step analysis

In order to clarify a new material's market potential, Empa researchers Fabiano Piccinno, Roland Hischier and Claudia Som proceed in three steps for the MPAS method. First of all, the field of possible applications is defined: Which applications come into question based on the technical properties and what categories can they be divided into? Can the new material replace an existing one? The second step concerns the technical feasibility and market potential: Can the material properties required be achieved with the technical process? Might the product quality vary from one production batch to the next? Can the lab process be upgraded to an industrial scale cost-effectively? Is the material more suited to the low-cost sector or expensive luxury goods? And finally: Does the product meet the legal standards and the customers' certification needs? In the third step, the ecological aspect is eventually examined: Is this new material for the products identified really more environmentally friendly – once all the steps from product creation to recycling have been factored in? Which factors particularly need to be considered during production stage to manufacture the material in as environmentally friendly a way as possible?

Industrial production on a five-ton scale – calculated theoretically

The MPAS approach enables individual scenarios for a future production to be calculated with an extremely high degree of accuracy. In the case of the carrot waste nanofibers, for instance, it is crucial whether five tons of fresh carrots or only 209 kilograms of carrot waste (fiber waste from the juicing process) are used as the base material for their production. The issue of whether the solvent is ultimately recycled or burned affects the production costs. And the energy balance depends on how the enzymes that loosen the fibers from the carrots are deactivated. In the lab, this takes place via heat; for production on an industrial level, the use of bleaching agents would be more cost-effective.

Conclusion: six possible applications for "carrot fibers"

For fiber production from carrot waste, the MPAS analysis identified six possible customer segments for the Scottish manufacturer Cellucomp that are worth taking a closer look at: Protective equipment and devices for recreational sport, special vehicles, furniture, luxury consumer goods and industrial manufacturing. The researchers listed the following examples: Motorcycle helmets and surfboards, side walls for motorhomes, dining tables, high-end loudspeaker boxes and product protection mats for marble-working businesses. Similarly detailed analyses can also be conducted for other renewable materials – before a lot of money is actually invested in production plants.
