£16 Helmet on Ebay
 
Saw this on the Ebay daily deals. Might be of interest for someone looking for a cheap spare lid.

Don't think I'd want to wear a £16 helmet though.

The listing states it has been tested to ACU GOLD APPROVAL and EEC 22.05 SAFETY STANDARD so it should protect your head okay, it probably just weighs a ton.

Only £10 extra for a tinted visor as well, my visor was £45!!

Personally I wouldn't buy a helmet without trying it on, but if you've had that brand before...

If you're skint, far better than wearing some multiple-crashed secondhand POS.

one of the salesmen up here in an Aberdeen bike shop told me something when i was loking for my new helmet.

There is no such thing as an unsafe Helmet. all helmets meet road safety standards & to pick the best fit even if its the cheapest one in the shop.

£16 bargin if it fits your head.

+1. They all have to meet the safety standards but some meet and exceed the safety standards.

Yeah, we're talking about these in work... there's gotta be something up with them as it's likely a tenner if the P&P is free (which it is).

If your stupid enough to buy a £16 helmet then a £16 helmet is fine.
