Has anyone here brought one of these helmets of Trademe would be interested to hear any feedback. I quite like the idea of the built in visor.

Plenty available from the shops where you can try them on and get the right fit for you. Also does the german standard met the minimum NZ requirements?

Yeah I've tried the HJC eqvilient at a shop I liked it a lot but they were big $$$$ not so sure about this German helmet standards will have to look into this one.

If Dot Snell says they're OK, they're OK.

Remember how important sizing is - make sure you at least try the same helmet on in a store.

Personally I dont like the second visor (I thought I would) - but found a tinted visor so, so much better.

According to the ACC website.. the NZ Standards for helmets must comply with the following codes..

Snell (M2000)

European (ECE22.05)

Australian (AS1698) :yes:

other gear...

Jackets/pants (EN 13595)

Gloves (EN 13594)
