Helmet ordering online?

i did order a limited edition TT helmet a few years ago ,tried it on seemed fine but after the first ride i found it was a bit tight contacted the supplier who said they wouldn't change as it was used after some time there did yield and agreed to change but i have to pay for postage both ways ,i just forgot about it as the cost of postage was so high and no guarantee that the new one would be right,i won't buy on line now rather spend a bit of petrol money ,go on a road trip and get to a bike shop

 

Ive never had a problem with ordering helmets on-line, try it on in a shop then surf the net to see who is selling it the cheapest. Every one i have ever bought on the net has come well packaged & the box intact.

 

Is that the yellow & grey one with the bird on the top & the skull/spanners on either side?

Ive got one of those too, still boxed up & never been worn.

 

If they are that local then go in person to make the purchase, that way you know it hasnt been dropped or kicked around by the courier..... Lazy git! :wink:

 

About £140 i think i paid for mine

 

This one,looks good about £130 on various sites and E Bay

 

Yep. Thats the one

 

Sportsbikeshop in Boston are spot on at helmet delivery, very well packed and if you change your mind they take returns.

 

Just be careful as to fit - they can differ lid to lid even in same make and supposedly same size!

 

Im sure SpankyMonkey could make it fit if its on the tight side

 

Got the kids helmets from Ghostbikes - prices are fantastic - not a 'brand' name but as it's only for the odd gentle ride out on the back...
Came boxed, completely unmarked. Downside as always though is sizing - had to send one back to swap for larger so lost a lot of my original saving on the postage but no quibble at all from Ghostbikes. Just make sure you don't remove the tags or visor sticker till you're sure!

 

I heard it wasnt just Guy Matins helmet either, someone said something about the Welsh rugby team?
