...When first passing my CBT I bought a helmet off the internet, after damaging it I decided to go to a shop and buy one to get it fitted correctly. After visiting the shop, it emerged that all my gear was incorrect size. ~ The Helmet ~ The helmet I bought is an RST PC1 Sport 1950 which has a quick-release anti-scratch visor, a quick release chin strap, fully removable and washable lining, aerodynamic twin-scoop venting and meets both the EC2205 + ACU Gold standard.

Advantages: Excellent protection, looks good
Disadvantages: Feels a bit tight when new, difficult to open with gloves on

It is easy to assume that you will get a cheap product for this price, but although a bit fiddly to do up and open the face with gloves on, it is possible and it is a good quality helmet. It is available in three colours, blue, silver and black, all in a matt finish which doesn't scratch easily, but is hard to keep clean, although it does take a good scrubbing when required.

I had a bad crash wearing a black one and would have died had it not been for my helmet. My head hit the floor at 40 MPH and I slid for 20 yards on my face and head, flipping over at the end. The front stayed shut and although very... Read review

...I bought my first Giro helmet from Halfords a few years ago now. With it came a lifetime guarantee. How can they promise that? I hear you ask. Well the way they do it is this. You buy the original helmet, mine cost around £15, then if you ever have an accident of any kind you return the helmet to them and they send
