Many of the misfits that frequent this forum are your age. "Immediate departure" due to a lousy helmet is for the lucky ones. Consider other possibilities that could result from even a low speed crash: brain damage, disfiguration, paralysis. Nobody wants to wad up their bike, but unexpected shit happens in the blink of an eye. Surely your safety, mobility, good looks, and cognitive well-being are worth 50 quid. Even a push-bike lid is better than nothing. Here are some low-price possibilities for you to consider. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=half+shell+motorbike+helmet&crid=RGBYZUEJVA57&sprefix=half+shell+motorbike+helmet%2Caps%2C227&ref=nb_sb_noss


If half of those helmets have got genuine ECE certificates, i'll eat one of them

Not a chance this this has, don't trust everything sold on Amazon

Freddy speaks with wisdom borne of experience. Here is what my helmet looked like after a high side get off. Landed on my face and skidded to a halt. Didn't even hit anything except the tarmac.https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52011258824_b0677164f7.jpg

Well if we're sharing, then: https://imgur.com/a/Ln1alLM

(Aside - why can I not get imgur to display the actual image above?? Have tried adding ".jpg" and [img]] tags as usual, to no avail...)

Yeah i noticed that, and then right under that it says the following

Quote:
Our helmets fulfil the ECE R22.05/DOT FMVSS-218 safety standards, making it approved for road use in Europe and the USA. So you can use it safely outdoors, suitable for adult men and women.


A scary thought if someone is actually using one of these as a motorcycle helmet

Also, there doesn't appear to be any way to report these products to Amazon as clearly being not fit for purpose

Yes I tried too, but could not find anything that let me do it unless I had a seller account.

Found it, if you pick a size, then under the description a "Report an issue with this product" link appears

Why would you want to report them? It's prime Darwinism at it's most basic form.

Because either some midlife crisis Harley wannabe or some teenage 125 rider who doesn't know better would be ripped off by these people because they claim the helmet meets the ECE 22.05 standard. If there was something I could do about that and I didn't do it? I'd feel pretty shite.

Just an observation but note the terminology "Complies with all Euro Regulations" ; "ECE 22.05 standard" and "Meets all European Regulations - ECE-R22.05" - Nowhere does it actually say 'Approved to . . .' all of which kind of makes me suspicious it hasn't been tested and therefore ain't road legal.

I will concede I have been too flippant in this thread, to the extent that I may be perceived as offensive, and for that I apologize. Rather more meaningfully than that wretched chap who expressed a preference for the shooting of Diane Abbott, for he is clearly an unmitigated turd of the first water and I'm not that far gone.

Having said that, the German-style coal-scuttle arrived and is a spectacular decoration. It also unblushingly displays ECE and DOT credentials in much the same way Gove and Johnson misled the British public with their bus advert, may they rot. I've banned the boy from wearing it to school.
