My trusty Shoei XR1000 is coming up to five years old and I think I should look to replace it soon.
I was looking at the Nolan N85 as my next helmet (it won an award on Webbikeworld for one of the best for price helmets they have seen) but I found some information that mentions Polycarbonate Helmets aren't as good as Fibreglass or equivailant? But when doing some more digging found some websites that say although weaker shell they absorb the impacts better (Polycarbonate ones I mean)
The XR1100 is more expensive but Fibreglass... any ideas if this is tosh? or?
Didn't think getting a replacement would be so tricky! they both score the same on Sharp but one is a third of the price with built in flick down sun visor, pinlock included etc etc
