Recommend me a helmet/somewhere to buy

[jimspeed]

ok i know there have been a few helmet threads already...

i am after sub £100 with a drop down sun visor as i wear glasses.. would ideally prefer to try one on before i buy so i am looking for somewhere within a cruise of ludlow shropshire and open at the weekends..
any decent bike shops recommended around here

You'll struggle to get one of a decent quality with an internal sun visor IMO

Cheapest but best one I'd tried with the internal visor would be a Shark S800/900 (can't remember which) which was pretty light, well built, comfy and according to reviews was pretty quiet too which is bonus. They're about 140 quid though, I think.

V Can lids. They do both flip and full face. Has the sun visor I got full face with bluetooth mic and earphone (only one side) but that is a bit of a bonus as you can still hear road noise with music going.
All for £89

info here

Bought from Bradford M/C.

Was just going to say Caberg. Mine cost £100 but I know you can get them a bit cheaper. The drop down sun visor is a life safer

Sadly that's pretty much where my knowledge of helmets ends still, and probably won't improve until I next have to buy a helmet. So while on the subject, what would be considered as unsafe to wear while riding? I think I've had it about one and a half years, 10k miles and a couple of light(well, kind of, speed was in double digits) impacts to grassy type surfaces. It still feels like a solid helmet but I always wonder if I ought to be more paranoid

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

thanks those V can ones look pretty decent for the money.. i think i need to try a few on as my present one seemed tight to start with but now feels like its being sucked off at speed and seems to be able to move a lot..

i got a caberg justisimo at infinity motors on offer at £120 not too long ago..Nice lid, with sunvisor.. but a lot noisier then my previous caberg.

Good for around town...(flip face) but a lot of motorway...mmh get some GOOD earplugs...
