SHARP Helmet Testing
« on: November 13, 2010, 08:56:29 AM »
Found this site whilst looking for a new helmet. Might be worth a look, I was quite surprised at the results

Made me rethink my choice of helmet. Now want something that will save my head, not something that just looks pretty

Bikes don't leak oil',.... they mark their territory :o)           Sometimes it takes a whole tankful of fuel before you can think straight. Growing old is manditory... but growing up...well that my friends...is OPTIONAL!

Picked up the Nitro Aikido £71.99. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't have looked at it twice, I was going to treat myself to a Shoei but I am glad I looked first. 3 Stars at £429.00 no brainer really   :nails

you also have to remember to check the weight and sound proofing, not just the rating.

A cheaper helmet wont be as light or block as much sound or wind.
