No I think they shark is a midrange lid.

Like I said price isnt that important. If a lid fits you properly it will protect your head. If you lid is loose it wont protect your head.

They all have to pass the same tests to get EU approval and an ACU gold sticker.

Oh and IMHO a more expensive lid will give you.

A better paint scheme. Or Graphcs.
Have a bigger slot to peer out of so your visability is better.
Better vents to keep your head cool
It will be lighter
It might have removable cheek pads which you can wash to keep your lid smelling fresh.
Also Liz found with her new XR1000 Shoei that the XS had a smaller shell so it meant she could turn her head round further when she was doing lifesavers etc.

You have to admit that the pink MOMO helmets look very nice indeed!

Was meaning about buying one from Fleabay

I consider EVERYTHING from that source to be seconds - either second-hand or seconds quality.

But then I am probably over cautious and paranoid.

For some reason I would never buy a lid from fleabay. You can just never be sure. I've grown quite attached to my head you see.
