Hope this helps someone who's wanting to part with as much money as the guy in the video for something built like poop. |

Bare in mind these are the helmets being produced by NLO MOTO.
There are other brands available, I've been speaking to a bloke called Paul Dalloway from https://www.graf-x.co.uk/ and friends with him on Facebook. None of his helmets have had any complaints from customers and he's posted that video before to warn of customers thinking of importing from Russia instead of buying his.

So he's trying to get people to buy his Russian helmet, instead of a different Russian helmet.
The Graf-X version is based on a helmet that has never been available in the UK, is not in the IXS catalogue for this year or last and would seem to be a bit of an unknown quantity (web searching doesn't throw up much info).
Is it GRP, poly or composite?
Ultimately, it's still a helmet covered in some sort of moulded shell, made of what and attached how?
Has the orginal helmet had holes drilled in it, which might effect it's structural integrity, or has it been treated to a cocktail of glues and solvents, which could do the same thing?
Frankly, I think anyone who buys something like this cannot reasonably have any expectation that's it's going to do anything for them in an accident and, as such, it's a stupidly expensive ornament.
