Lids for £19.99 open face and £24.99 full face. Would you trust your head with one?

Bike cover £8.99 - I need a new one.

Dont rule the lids out so quickly, last time they were up to EU Standards.

Meet the EU standards, or go beyond them ? Generally cheaper lids "conform" to specs, better lids (read Arai/Shoei/Sumoy etc) go far beyond, are much lighter and far more comfortable. That's why you pay more.

I have learned, that in the overall scheme of things, buying good quality kit is cheaper than buying cheap. Although I do not have any experience with this particular retailer, it's just an observation...

i dont fancy a £25 lid. but will be checking out some of the other stuff

the £3 tankbag looks good

& a battery charger for £5

I bought the charger, maps and the tankbag/rucksack last year. The tank bag has a few rips but has done a good job with quite heavy use on motorways all year round. Thumbs up for the price. The charger has been used twice and worked both times. Cheap. The maps are a bit cack, they are an odd scale, making them only show most roads but not others, they fold difficultly and rip easily, so they are less good.

If they're the safest helmets in the world I flatly refuse to wear a lid with "B-Square" written across the front of it

Conformity to EU regulations doesn't mean anything... The Arai demonstration I saw at the North Yorkshire Road Racers Association showed me an awful lot... My next lid will be an Arai!
