So you were paid by a company importing chinese dung into the UK...you're nice and impartial then.

I will credit you with this...at least you're honest enough to declare your interests.

Quid pro quo, so will I.

I sell helmets and I try to stock brands that are of European manufacture.

I will never sell something to a customer that I would not be happy to buy myself.

Chinese manufacturing is appropriate in some product sectors but helmet production simply isn't one.

I think my original submission is useful to the original poster. Short and sweet. Cheap Chinese helmets are dung and are best avoided.

What would you have posted.....a long winded explanation about how modern chinese production methods are equaivalent to the best the West can offer ??? how current design standards are expertly executed by far eastern production facilities ??

I've heard them all friend and it's all rubbish.

Go to the roadside and tell it all to some unfortunate who has had a crash while wearing a chinese helmet.

Things are made in China because it is the cheapest place to get anything made- simple as that. Argue your case and I'll listen but you cannot escape that unavoidable fact.

And I didn't dribble any snot onto my keyboard in the process of typing this. I even used more than just my index fingers.
