TBH, I wouldn't buy a helmet off this crowd because of this bit in the advert

"Exchanges/returns

You can exchange your helmet for any other size and colour so long as it is returned to us unused and in it's original box (£6.50 re-postage charge for this)

If for any reason you are not happy with your helmet you can return it to us for a refund (minus £6.50 postage) "

So basically, you could buy a helmet off them, drop it from 6 feet and return it and they'll resell it no questions asked.

At least bike shops like hein gericke have a no return policy on helmets once they've left the shop. Buy one from a shop mate.

Tbh mate, that helmet is probably absolutely fine, it will be an average comfort, average protection helmet of average quality.

Nothing special, but not dangerous, it will keep your noggin in one piece just as well as any other to a rediculous percentage.

But its up to you wether you want to pay for that tiny bit of extra safety, I thought it was worth it, others dont.

Those Head measurement charts are usually very reliable, but you might want to pop down to your local bike shop to try on a few helmets to find what size fits. Secure, but not too tight.

Hope ive helped.

Hi Lee, the Nitro N800v is a crackin helmet for the money, its not too noisy, comfortable on long journeys, and looks cool as well. make sure you get a foggy though, cos they mist up quite a lot, otherwise spend out and get a decent lid such as a Roof Boxer or the like.

A decent helmet will help you not die
A bad, poorly chosen, loose fitting, cheap and tacky helmet will help you die.

Your choice.

Is there not a local dealers near you like J&S ?
Get in to one of the shops and try a few helmets on, choose the one that fits best THEN buy it from the internet if its cheaper, not before.

Saying that Toby as much as I agree with you to an extent most helmets over about £150 will just waste the lad's money. Above this sort of price you are almost definitely paying for flashness rather than safety.

its funny too DD rings are supposed to be better than the seat belt type clip in things , I'm a bit on the fence on this one but its not likely you'll fuck up the mechanism on a DD ring system compared to a comparatively complex clip in system

A cheap helmet that's a good fit will be better at protecting you than a top of the range expensive one that isn't a good fit. Go to a bike shop and find out what fits you then you can start trying to find where to get them from cheaply.

funny , people won't put their heads in a cheap helmet , but will put their dicks in cheap 10 pinter slappers picked up down the pub.
