Looks nice. How much was it?

was £450 ish like 18 months ago, think there about £400 now. was the comfiest helmet i had tried on, and its red inside which took my fancy haha

the only downside is the visors, the one on your helmet looks much better

That's cheap for a carbon helmet  :undecided: What approval has it got? Mine's Snell CMS2007 approved. Carbon/kevlar/glass shell and 2mm visor.

Most carbon ones I've seen are £800+

yeah its not bad, most carbon ones ive seen are only like 500 odd tbh. for motorbike helmets anyway i havent looked at any other types

has Gold ACU & EC2205 Approved, 2 carbon shells and 3.2mm visor. not sure about approvals and stuff tbh. im guessing its not race approved just road and track or something?

Ahh that explains it. Mine is kart racing approved, hence the price tag for a non carbon helmet.
