Heyup, my new helmet just arrived, and for £50 it seems to be a solid bit of kit. Comes Pinlock ready and with a pinlock insert to boot too. Nice enough to look at, fairly light weight, and a drop down sun visor thing to.

Haven't had a go on the bike with it yet, since I'm only picking the bike up on Saturday, but if you need a helmet and are looking to spend around £50, this seems like a quality shout.

It does have a little "chin curtain" under my chin which I'm not a fan of, not exactly sure what it does, but its removable so I guess I shouldn't be complaining.

Will get some photos up later if people want to see more than the 2 angles available online.

Note that I don't work for Lidsdirect or anything, they just seem to have it for £50 while everyone else has it for £100 odd, so ja.

Considering my first helmet was a £40 Aldi flip front jobbie, this is pretty bloody good!

Not that the Aldi one was bad, seemed perfectly fine, just the flip front came off when I was flipping it up to refuel and had to borrow a knife to screw it back in Laughing
