great prices but it looks like you have to be a "hog" head or a "pin" head to take advantage.

looking at the specs some of these lids seem very heavy? 2kg + ?

Sending mine back, it looks good but is way too small. :thumbdown:

Also found This comment on item:-

"There is nothing wrong with the Helmet but has to be returned as it does not have any of the legal requirements for use in the UK this includes
comply with British Standard BS 6658:1985 sticker
comply with UNECE Regulation 22.05 sticker
comply with any standard accepted by a member of the European Economic Area which offers a level of safety and protection equivalent to BS 6658:1985
None of this is represented on the Helmet and there is no ACU representation so cannot be used on track either
beware as lack of markings can affect insurance and may be liable to confiscation should Police feel necessary.
As I said there is nothing wrong with the Helmet just a failure to Import it via the correct methods"

So comment gave me a bit of a concern as it may not be up to UK spec. :roll:

I know mate it was very tight to get on and off, I thought of selling it for a small profit on the bay of evil, but without the BS stickers I decided to return it as didn't want hassle over it :thumbdown:

brought the bell m10 helmet
did not check the safety sticker, but the cheek pads came unstudded every time you opened the helmet to put it on
and the size link said a bell small was a 57 and the sticker on the helmet said 56 small.
same as above, thought about flee bay for a profit but i like my 100% feedback
so sent it back to amazon today

just tried mine on, not sure if i'll keep it, it says xxl 62, but its very tight compared to other lids of a similar size, also once again no safety sticker, not sure whether to keep it and hope the padding starts to give a little making the fit a little more comfy, or to just returns it.
this might be a case of bell rejects or moody copies, I can't see it being copies as its just to good a quality.

Copies are very good these days even to the point of being very hard to tell the difference from genuine. That's the thing with copies you goo copies and bad copies.
