I can't afford a new helmet just now, much as I'd like to get myself an Evoline, but my helmet is okay in general. Few wee scuffs mainly from the low stairs at work but otherwise fine. Except my visor is a little scratched from day-to-day stuff and my kids farting about with it.

Managed to find some to fit from eBay, only £20 but coming from Korea. Before I jump at the much cheapness of it all, are these likely to be any good, and not fall apart after a few months?

I used a cheap visor once(different make lid)

It didn't seal or fit properly and wouldn't stay open at all


Hope you have better luck

OP has posted a what also looks like a legit visor. HJC have a factory in Korea and the page mentions twice that the brand and the manufacturer is HJC.

If it turns up and it's not, demand a refund. Thumbs Up

Same as everything bought online, if it sounds too good to be true..... , however sometimes you can get lucky as others have said.

failing that you can get a new one legit from a UK supplier for £36
