Bike shop owners love it when you go in and try on their helmets for size then go buy them online.

 

Trying it on locally then ordering online is a a tacky move and will not make you any friends with your local stores.

 

And don't forget to add the 40% duty and 14% VAT to your overseas prices.

 

The idea of upsetting LBS kinda slipped my mind, but now i know better. if i do decide to go online, i guess i will just have to bite the bullet.

So my propero is on it way out....it is old though and was an awesome lid....

 

Anyone know of specials at the moment

 

I am also looking to replace my current lid, really keen on the Spez S3 but damn 1900 zarels is a bit rof

Take a look at the Bell Sweep race as well. I owned one a while ago. Seriously comfortable helmet and they have a good crash replacement warranty as well

 

If you decide to ignore budget then get yourself a giro aeon. The best helmet I have ever owned. Seriously serious helmet

The Propero at R 1200 is more helmet than most people can handle.

Yea was extremely happy with my porpero 1....it was really good and ticked all the boxes, especially the fit. Also i didn't look after mine at all and still managed 4 years out of it. the ruber clasp thing at the back has disintegrated so it is time for a new one.

yea that is for 2012 models @ 1300 bucks...not bad. Rush had them for 1100 incl overnight shipping...which is a huge bargain so really came down to that....

 

Would have gone spez no problem, just got a really good deal on the whisper....might bite me later on since spez has set the bar pretty high wrt helmets
