Hi guys.. im looking for a new helmet as mine is getting on a bit (no cock jokes please ) .. i have found a helmet on ebay i like but havnt heard of the make.. its made by a company Duchinni.
Has anybody had experience with this company or has heard of it?

Thanks
Dan

A relatively cheap make from what I can see, cannot comment on the quality of their helmet, but I had some of their gloves which were extremely warm and handled a few crashes before I chucked 'em.

My first lid was a Duchinni (this one https://www.playwell.co.uk/images/duchinni%20matt.jpg), cost me £40, I didn't know anything about lids then (still don't really as I only pay up to £70 for mine anyway), but I didn't find any fault with it, I never dropped it or had any accidents either so I guess they are safe enough

Hi

Had a Duchinni D311 I think, dual sport one. Helmet lasted a year, 15,000 km of me kicking it, dropping it, and taking it everywhere.

Was agonizingly noisey though. If you went above 30mph without ear plugs its was genuinly painful. With ear plugs the wind noise was still distracting over 50mph.

To be fair, most dual sport helmets are noisey, just this one exceptionally so.

Cheers
