Sorry guys, that rating is for one particular test only. I have a Shoei but used to have a HJC. The Shoei and Arai fare a hell of a lot better in blunt impact tests than most. I agree that you do pay a premium for the quality but thats the same for any product and if you shop around you can get them at a good discount most of the time.

Mine was listed at around £330 but I paid £195 for it. The build quality on some of the helmets listed is crap. For example - I wouldn't use a Lazer to shit in because it would most likely leak. The trim hangs off the straps are iffy and the general visor fit is loose. I looked at them when I was looking for one for my lad. Besides - who has ever crashed in a lab?

All the test does is make peeps with cheap shitty lids feel better.
