I have quite a few helmets and would like to mention three of them.

First up is the NOLAN N102 with full BlueTooth capability. Cost me £400 and is the WORST HELMET that I have ever owned. Heavy, noisy, poorly constructed. Complete and utter piece of crap!

Then there's my trusty SHOEI SYNCOTEC II. Great helmet. Reasonable weight for a flip-front, very well made, fairly quiet and very comfortable. Nice one Shoei.

And just recently I made an unexpected purchase. I was in a bike shop and spotted a VERY striking looking helmet. Full face, Union Jack motif, VERY thick visor with a light tint, supremely comfortable, fairly quiet, unbeatable safety rating, amazingly fast visor-detachment and very reasonable price. It was, of course, the SHARK S800 special edition. TOP MARKS!!!!!!
