In the shop we also sell the range of motorcycle helmets from Roof and AGV amongst others. All helmets that we sell meet the exacting European ECE 22.05 standards, so even the cheapest helmets will provide very high levels of protection. In fact, recent research has indicated that the lowest cost helmets are just as capable of protecting your head as the most expensive helmets. As you go up the price range you're buying other criteria such as comfort, ventilation, noise, longevity, colour schemes, demisting, etc. Some manufacturers invest in additional testing to achieve ACU Gold (a racing standard) such as the RST Cobra and Roof Diversion. The primary consideration when buying a motorcycle helmet should always be comfort. Everyone's head is a different size and shape, and whilst all manufacturers will tend to make helmets for an average head shape, they all differ slightly. If you're having trouble getting a good fit, consider the modular AGV Ti-Tech range that allows you to mix and match the internal padding components.
- Only use clean water and a soft clean cotton cloth on your motorcycle helmet and visor. Don't use paper kitchen towels as the fibres are quite abrasive. The only exception is when soaking off insects by laying a wet paper towel over the visor for a few minutes with no wiping, using only the cotton cloth for that. If you REALLY look after your visor you should expect it to last as long as your helmet, otherwise change it every Autumn when the light is getting worse and the sun is lower in the sky. - When you stop, don't put your helmet on the bike's seat, tank, handle bars, etc., as it's only a mater of time before it gets knocked off. Put it on the ground instead. A 3' plus drop onto tarmac or concrete will not only scratch the visor and helmet, but could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the helmet. - When at home, put it in the bag that came with it (if available) and find somewhere out of the way to keep it, so that it doesn't get kicked or played with. Make sure everyone in the house understands that your motorcycle helmet is a piece of safety equipment and not a toy. - If you're involved in an accident or your helmet gets damaged in some other way , you really must get a new one even if the damage looks relatively superficial. There could be internal structural problems that you simply can't see. It isn't worth taking a risk. That's another advantage of buying a relatively cheap helmet, you're less tempted to hold onto one that you shouldn't. - Don't buy a used helmet, as you can't be 100% sure about its history. Don't sell yours to some else either. - If your helmet lasts unscathed for four years, throw it away and buy a new one. All materials age and lose some of its strength.
