    Article on how to buy a helmet and reviews of a few.

    Speed read it, seems a bit of decent advice in many area's.

    This is not the gospel on helmets according to me, just an intesting article I found online, and following on from the other thread, about helmets and 12 year old !!!:eek:;)

    Maybe be of interest to you, if not don't read it, then start abusing me for sharing, or I will tell you where to go:expressionless:

    This is a huge subject to cover, so many variables.
    Every helmet I've ever bought has revealed flaws only becoming recognised after regular use and not when tried for size etc, in the dealers.
    One of these days I'll get it just right though, won't I?

    When I was looking for my last helmet I had set my sights on a Arai, only to find that the helmets didn't fit the shape of my head no matter which model I tried. I now have a Shoei which fits me perfectly. Helmet has to be the one that fits, not always the one you want unfortunately

    Well after trying many brands over the years I found out about 15 years ago that I seem to have the perfect head for Shoei helmets, ever since I don't piss about trying other makes I just wait for a Shoei I like to go on sale!

    Well everyone has a doppelganger (obviously yours is Julian Clary!), didn't think there could be another as handsome as me though, I could be the pin up for Shoei helmets (as long as I keep the dark visor down obviously).

    If I get your drift and its what it seems to be, then my advice would be the same as a wise man once said - Be like smoke from a fire and -
    Rise above it !!!! :D:D:p
