Damn lies.

The best helmet is one that fits. J & S in Farnsborough or Portsmouth will offer a good selection. Try on everything in your budget, don't go in with a list of "must have" features or you could end up compromising on fit.

I have an agv k3 sv which i can't recommend enough. It should fit within your budget, has flippy down sun visor thingy too which kind of works.. i use it for protecting eyes when i ride with the visor open (on super hot days)

Have a look at what suits your tastes, but you won't easily beat going in and trying them on.

This. You have a budget get yourself down to a bike dealer/clothing shop and try on as many as you like in your budget and walk out with the one that fits the best.

As I say to the CBT students and the DVSA At Cardington on my assessment loved it so much that the other 2 candidates on assessment have also stolen it to use in their CBT.

Picture an egg box. You have 6 eggs all cradled individually in their little cups in the box, take 5 out, close the lid and give the box a shake, what happens to the egg? Right, nothing, because its protected by its little cup. Now take that egg and put it in a biscuit tin, close the lid and give that a shake, what happens to the egg then? Yup, egg all over the place. This is the difference between a helmet that fits correctly and one that does not.
