Tango Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hmmmm.....rediculously overpriced....... What was it about those lids that you liked?.......if it's open faced lids you are interested in how about Davida or Bell?....... http://www.openfacehelmets.co.uk/Davida ... 231U5.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunthorpe Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 That is the sort of style I am looking for, so its definitely a good start.The attraction of the really expensive ones is the fact that they're bold, simple and feminine designs I guess, others seem to lack that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techno Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I'd also personally not buy online I would buy from a shop something she's actually tried on and know fits correctly.I'm not sure what you ride but I would also seriously consider buying full face only, why protect the rest of your skin and leave your face uncovered...but hey that's your choice ultimately.

Chrissb6 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Should of done the BMF last weekend Mate they were almost giving them away some only £20.00 new out of the box. Shop hard this time of the season should be some real deals out there but try before you buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunthorpe Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Thanks for all the advice, I thought as much about open faces, but you know what girls can be like when presented with something shiny haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
