About as close as I get to clothes shopping

I was at GBM yesterday and saw they had some lids I'd never heard of - Shark helmets. They fit me better than my current Shoei (apparently my head is not so round as I thought ;P) and they have an XS in stock (and all their in-stock Sharks are 15% off right now). It's a little girly (OTOH, I appreciate the tai-chi-symbol-with-koi graphic ;), but that particular model has a good review from webBikeWorld (apparently Sharks are quite popular and respected over the pond). I'm thinking it's about time to replace my lid. . .

Motorcyclist's article was junk journalism, but I have said that many many times before. I won't go into the reasons unless you want me to.

What I said about high end helmets holds true even if you take that article as gospel. The helmets that meet the spec that they lauded as being the absolute best in the original article (before they cut out the parts that disgreed with their conclusion) are all composite. All of them.

Like I said, I'm sure it's a decent helmet, but I would lay large amounts of money tht it isn't as good aa helmet as your current one. And dont take my use of "decent" the wrong way. I'd feel safe putting my head in it, I'd just feel I would be safer wearing the Shoei or a higher end Shark.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to get the high-end Shark helmet with magical shell polymer of awesomeness, but I can't afford $700 worth of anything right now ;P.
