Do thay have any on-line links to this - can't get it AFAIK in Holland.
Dunno about links, but I was reading the article last night. The winning lid was the £205 Shoei Raid II.

The ratings were made based upon an impact test, spike test, strap strength/elasticity test and an overall rider assessment of comfort, ease of use, etc. Shark helmets did OK, especially the S500 which seems very decent for the price.
Thanks. I guess then the answer is either a Shoei Raid II or another Shark then depending on confort etc.

Thanks people
