Anybody bought a helmet from these before?
Hi guys,
Just seen an advert for these guys on facebook.. saying they do cheap motorbike helmets, company called buy helmets online ? Look like they're based in manchester Wantted to grab a spare alongside my arai, Been trying to find reviews online, can't find any, big surprise. So what do you reckon has anyone else here in the MOC used them and are they legit? Might just go to my local if can't come up with anything here Thanks lads |

Having done a bit of internet research, I would not consider buying from them. I would use SBS because they are excellent with returns/exchanges etc.

I will second Sports Bike Shop. Not always the cheapest, but the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Good choice of makes backed with stock levels to match, plus as mentioned, a user friendly returns policy.
Lastly, they sell genuine products, not cloned look alike from China. Be wary of ultra cheap helmets with known brand labels. They may look the same, but are not made to the same std. I think it was MCN ( not sure on the publication) who earlier this year purchased a cheap branded helmet off the net, then took the helmet to the manufacturer. They tested the helmet, it failed the euro tests by miles.

Just look at the guy's beard… Is his email address hipster2@helmet.co.uk ?
+ another 1 for sportsbikeshop I've bought a few bits and pieces from them including my last helmet. No problems.

I love the clause in their returns policy page ..
Several types of goods are exempt from being returned. Perishable goods such as food, flowers, newspapers or magazines cannot be returned. We also do not accept products that are intimate or sanitary goods, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases. Otherwise I can't see that they are massively cheap, shop around for deals from mainstream and you can get to pretty much the same prices. Frequently these places will be shifting new old stock that the bigger dealers haven't shifted, or got the tail end of runs direct from manufacturers, helmets are a bit faddy and if you haven't got this years pattern/colour you need a new one. Also their margins will be much lower. Not convinced they'd be good or bad.

How much money do you save buying from these guys? If you are sure of the fit/ sizing and pay for it with PayPal I would buy from them if the savings were worthwhile.
