The collaboration between Brico and Team Bardiani CSF Faizané continues for the new season that has just started. This year, among the ranks of Reverberi's team there is also Giovanni Visconti, with whom we spoke to find out how he feels about the Quasar helmet and Starlight glasses.

Perfect fit

Giovanni Visconti (at the start next to Battaglin) is a rider who has won a lot in his career and at 38 years of age enjoys a certain amount of experience.
«What immediately struck me about the Quasar helmet – Visconti begins – is the perfect fitIt doesn't move and stays firmly on the head in the correct position." This feature is very important not only for comfort: "The fact that it fits perfectly It also makes it safer, because in the event of a fall the helmet remains in place and the head is protected in the right places."

Visconti continues in the description of the Quasar helmet. «It is very light and breezy, it also has an aerodynamic shape and is also aesthetically beautiful – and then he adds – the adjustment is simple and fast with the rear wheel»

Three lenses

In addition to the Quasar helmet, the Bardiani CSF Faizané athletes are equipped with Starlight glasses, also branded Briko.
«These glasses have the possibility of changing the lens – the Sicilian champion explains to us – and are equipped with a lens changing system that I have never had before. In practice the rods detach with a simple click without having to force any element».

The Starlights are equipped with different lenses: «With the three lenses we have available, I found the right view for every weather conditionI used the yellow one in variable conditions, the light one for when the weather was bad and the dark one for when it was sunny."

Visconti also goes into detail about the glasses: "They're excellent glasses, with a three-position adjustable nose piece that lets you find the perfect fit. I really like the fact that they're full-lens, because I have a full field of vision," he explains, "when I'm at full stretch, with my head down, I have nothing to block my view."
