I brought 2 HLD helmets on trade me. The ones with the twin visors. They have the ECE stamps on them.
I took them to Land transport to check and they said they were they were up to standard.
They have been very good so far.

I bought a Matt Black one. Cause I wanna look kewl.

But obviously they aren't no Arai or Shoei eh. More of an HJC?

It wasnt the looking cool part. (but I have to say they do look great)
I was going to get the Matt Black but when i went to the shop to pick it up i ended up going for the Shiny black. I had to drop a size as the helmets are quite big. I ended up with a large and a Med.
The drop down sun visor is realy realy great.
There is a plastic vent for your nose on cold days that can be taken off when you dont need them.
I saw fire eyes has a photo of her one on here.
The vents work well too.
