A lot of talk about fake and dangerous helmets circling the net so the question would you risk a cheap lid take a chance or play it safe at a bike shop. https://www.motorcyclenews.com/advic...-crash-helmet/

Re: Fake helmets
I would love some of the replicas for display purposes only, if it wasn't funding more manufacturing of shoddy lids..

Defo proper bike shop for a lid, every time. You can never be completely sure with mail order plus it might not fit.

Re: Fake helmets
last week BBC East demonstrated how unsafe they are. They did the standard Sharp drop test on 2 of these fakes. They both disintegrated.
