i bet if they custom painted them...e,g Black with the white fern...all the kiwi,s would get them and i for one would love one with a Northumbrian Flag on it!:thumbup1: Like i said..i,ve worn one..had a good all round look at it...the ear defender glide smoothly inside the helmet and are just as smooth to "Sweep" down over the ears are extremely noise dampening...quite an innovation. they are unbelievabley comfortable and light....Nuff said:001_rolleyes:

Surely just because something is expensive it doesnt alway make it better.

I had a pair of those hiax boots that cost £220. Biggest pile of dog poo ever. My bro had a pair too and within a few weeks the sole fell off. Mine i manages to alradite back together. sole wore out in less than 6 months too. The cheaper hiax blue work just as well and go on for ever.

 

I have always used the husky helmets, 10 yrs and haven't had any problems. Even had a pretty hard knock to the head and it did its job perfectly.

 

I would like to think that they all have to conform to a minimum standard so to assume its safer because it more expensive is just rubbish.

 

Dont get me wrong i could see myself in the orange and black one but not at £200.

 

if it was 100- 120 max i would be very tempted

£200 does seem a lot for a helmet but for sure it seems like it would be very very comfortable... I like the idea of not getting caught up in twigs and stuff as much, more streamlined... good if you were working a lot in really extreme conditions but hey, as the man said, vertex works just fine at less than half the price.

 

And for my part, I like the garish colours! Hi-vis out yer nut!

I don't have a problem with the price, as others have said, I spend at least that on my feet and I think my head deserves just as much protection (not that I am implying the other brands don't provide similar).......... BUT, I just can't get over that colour scheme so I am out
