Hmm, gay name but I quite like the look of some of the designs, seem quite nicely vented aswell which is good for a sweaty betty like me!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

That's a helluva lot of money for a standard construction lid!

£90 seems reasonable to me for a helmet of standard construction. Is it possible to get a lid with a carbon fibre construction for that price?

You'll need to Register first of course.

Don't get me started on highly priced safety gear 
scotia, It might not be possible to get a carbon fibre construction for that price, but you can certainly get a standard construction lid for MUCH less. I guess they are trying to sell them on their graphics which do seem pretty unique and might well appeal to some.

Yeh don't buy one from Lidl or Tesco tho, if you actually want your head to be protected, I think megamum works there...... 
The reason it is highly priced, most the time, is because it has had huge amounts on money pumped into R&D to protect YOU and much better quality materials.
Sure, save on socks if you must, but not on your noggin!!!
I think these hardnutz guys are trying to get in on a trend tho, but it would be interesting to hear thier reason for the price.

Jimmythefoot, No, FWIW actually I'm MD of my own business. At the end of the day so long as you get one with the current safety coding you are at least as protected as much as legislation says you should be. Also, if the cheap one fits better and is more comfortable than the higher priced then you are probably better off with the cheap one.

I can buy a car for £50 that is road legal, would I drive it?
Would you feel that your kids are safe it it if you crash? Yet it is legal......
Ever thought the same may apply with these minimal safety regulations?
As i said, scrimp on socks if you need, but helmets...... not me.
FWIF, MD of own business? Then surely you shoudl appreciate that spending a little more can go a long way......
