Lethal_Drizzle Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I just won a nice carbon fibre open face helmet for silly money on ebay (£2, so why not) However it is totally empty, no edge strip, no lining, no strap. Are these sort of things available anywhere? I imagine some sort of custom helmet supplier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Why not? Because your brain is in your head and your brain plays a key part in keeping you alive It also have similar properties to that of a mellon which is why a decent helmet is a much better option than a £2 shell of un-know origin. It's just not worth it when you can get a tested to be safe helmet (with free insides) for around £50 or there about. If you can't afford to protect your head, just wait out a bit until you can or beg / borrow. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethal_Drizzle Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 You know i saw that reply coming before i even wrote the original post....... I wouldnt trust a £50 helmet to protect a brick The shell is of a well known origin (still trading) and it actually ex-military, it has a single tiny chip in a non-structural area which apparently renders it "beyond economical repair" - I would trust this 10x more than a chinese ebay special.
