Recommend a Helmet

[dickturpin]

Looking for something sub £100 as a lid for daughter that goes out two or three times a year.
I know all the arguments of getting what you pay for and the value of your head etc etc but wonder about something like HJC CS14 at around £75....not sure about ratchet fasteners..always liked double d straps.
Any thoughts guys?

I have an HJC IS16 which is good. got it for under £90 far as i remember. has built in sun visor and is pretty comfi and quiet

[dickturpin]

does it have a ratchet strap? what is that like?

I bought a red Nitro lid about a year ago just for passengers to use, very good value for money, half decent looking and built in sun visor.

dickturpin,

I have had a few helmets with the ratchet strap (and I had a fairly big off with a helmet with one!), they are fine mate, honestly.

I've also got a HJC IS-16, and it's double D ring.


I think they've now brought out the IS-17, so the earlier one should be an even bigger bargain

If it was my daughter then I wouldn't baulk at the HJC helmet - decent lid at a decent price. As said earlier, the Micro Buckle is nothing to worry about - it's all about the fit as you know  :thumbup

Tiz a double D ring. As said new one out so should be a bargain by now :-)
