Hi Guys,

looking for a new helmet, my knowledge about helmets is zero, could expert on this forum give me some advice about the best
helmet available in the market.

Ayrtek is the best money can buy.
Masuri is rather good and looks more traditional.
A lot of people rate Albion but I'm not personally a fan.

Can't go wrong with any of those brands mate

Thanks mate, which one is the most expensive brand.

A top of the range Ayrtek would be the most expensive coming in at �250, with the cheapest �79.99 (or add �30 if you want a titanium grille so �109.99)
A top of the range Masuri has a RRP of �140 with their cheapest about �45
A top of the range Albion has a RRP of �175 with their cheapest about �45

These are all RRPs so you may be able to find them cheaper if you shop around

All about head shape and head size i think.

All 3 of Liams will more than do the job helmets should not be bought over the phone in my opinion either not the first time anyway.

Try them on or go into a local shop there other brands as well that make decent helmets too find the one that fits the best and is comfiest for yourself.

I to have had all 3 and i know which one fits my bonnet and feels the best but it only my personal preference

When I got out of junior helmets I got an Albion, loved it. Felt solid on my head.

Then I switched to a Masuri as I got bored of my white Albion, loved the Masuri. Solid helmet and looks great.

Then I decided to try an Ayrtek. Takes a while to get used to the Ayrtek but the vision is superb.

I have then got full circle back trough another Albion, Masuri, another Ayrtek, and possibly a new Masuri by Friday.

I think I like the idea of an Ayrtek more than the helmet itself. You can't go wrong with either helmet, get to a shop and try some on!

Does that mean you'll be selling the green Ayrtek mate??

Thanks mate, i think you solved my problem, i am looking for a very light helmet with a very good vision so AYRTEK sounds good.
