Treated myself, new lid.

Decided flip is the way to go. The fit is excellent and the quality seems very good. Not used it yet but will give a better review later in case anyone is interested.

I found mine painful at first, had to carry a spare in the panniers and swap after about 30 minutes use.

Took a while to "bed" in but is now comfy as comfy can be :)

However, even reduced by the time you add the Bluetooth kit which adds another £350 or so it's a damn expensive bit of kit!

I have the non-flip version of this helmet. Had it over 2 years now. A very good crash helmet that has made me swap from a long line of Arai's.

I don't know how many they took over, but certainly HG Leicester is now J+S. They still have some old HG stock that they are moving on cheap so a few genuine bargains still available.

I have the same helmet. I also liked the idea of the comms system, but the price?!?!?

I bought a Scala rider Q1 for £80 off ebay, super bit of kit, does the job very well.
