I hit b.i.n on one of these on wednesday night and it arrived today:-

i got one of them mark, dont really notice your wearing it, obviously mine will be alot smaller than your huge swede head

Im still kinda looking for a new helmet. I went into a shop and tried on the protecs they had. The "padding" was all hard ploystirine and didnt move or flex at all. It was like puting a hard box on your head! Ive heard that its just the UK ones and the USA ones are still soft foam.

I'm sure my Pro-Tec has the soft foam in it, although it is a US one; limited edition yellow and got it from Alans

Chances are the British ones all have to meet a Euro specification, and of course the Yanks have their own.

As they're all going to knock you stone cold out anyway, buy the comfortable one

Yep, I'm getting either a Moto 7 or a FOX Tracer - quite like my teeth the way they are

Be sure to buy one that you like the look of, even if its more expensive. You're much more likely to wear it   

And try and get a proper fitting.

Thing is Rob I like the look of the Troy Lee Designs lids but I've heard they fold like cardboard 

[TwoBobRob]

Sorry bud, I have no experience of em....

But the fit is all important.  You may well end up ruling out some lovely lids on the grounds they don't fit you properly, and conversely you will rule some lids in because they fit you a treat   

Try as many as you can.  If you're buying top end stuff then you could always go for a custom paint job to liven up a dull lid

i've been thinking of buying a pee pot helmet for a few weeks now as my full face is hot and i get all sweaty......bloody glad i didn't as i'd have no face left after Thursday at Corby!  i face slammed so hard i had concusion all day yesterday and was fast asleep by 8pm last night     

until i'm good enough not to fall off every time i ride i'll stick with my full face (of which i think i now need a new one)

I bought a TSG Evolution Superlight.    I'm not used to wearing a helmet and I thought a lighter one might be easier to get used to (I weighed it at 297 grams).

I really hope it protects my head when it slams into the aphalt?
