Anyone looking for a new lid could do worse than look at the British made Koden helmets:

They have had some glowing reviews from racers (and I've noticed that racer-instructor-drifetr Malcolm Edelson is now wearing one):

The helmets are SNELL 2010 compliant (and avaliable with HANS posts)

The only stockist where they can be bought over the counter is M&P Motorcycles in Swansea:

I made the long journey from the Black Country to South Wales yesterday to try one; it is the most comfortable helmet I have ever tried, and light at only 1,400 grammes. The build quality is excellent, easily equal to the big brands.

So, I decided to buy KSC Carbon, without HANS (to use in my Striker on track days) RRP £399.99; but as the SNELL 2015 complinat model is now undergoing accreditation they have been reducted to £179.99! Which must be the bargain of the centuary.
