Don't buy a cheap lid.

Absolutely shocking.

How they can sell those Chinese lids as safety equipment is scandalous.
This is a CRASH test comparison between a Marushin helmet and a Chinese RZO helmet.

That is terrible. I can't believe that......WILL SOMEONE SHUT THAT BLOODY KID UP! .......I can't believe that people would endanger someones life by selling this ****.
I've never heard of either make TBH but it certainly makes you think.

Wow!

I went for a Marushin as my first helmet a year ago from GW's. Was cheap, on offer and one of the few that actually fitted. I wasnt impressed with the build quality and overall design, but had the relevant approved markings - so I guess it was OK.

Passed, got a "premium" lid now and its got a better design etc. But Christ on a bike, what the hell with that shatter thing - it mustnt have passed any form of testing. And judging by the video, I assume this isnt the UK?

We bought the Marushin on fit and safety ratings. My wife tried on several more expensive lids but they didn't seem to fit comfortably.
