Try all make helmets as everyone has a preference due to head shape and size I like the Shoei but my preference and I like the Alpinestars and Spidi leathers as they fit and feel comfortable on my shape. Go try them all on before you buy anything and get it from a reputable source. Ebay and crap like like that chuck it in the bin.

As regards to bikes do the same, try what you like and anything in between and also check the insurance before purchasing anything

When you try lids on leave it on for a few minutes, walk around a bit. Sometimes they fit ok then you start to find it doesn’t fit as as well as you first thought.

Actually that’s true of all bike gear.

Turns out my eldest boy has a huge head !! Canny get a decent lid to fit him yet it doesn’t look any bigger than his bro who can just comfortably get mine on so much for them spending a bit more money and buying gear to share lol
