Mount Eden used to - dunno if they still do.
Why am I answering this? I don't know anything.

Damned eejit...

But (however!) you should buy a Shoei. I've owned three (3?) [3!!] AGVs, and now I have a Shoei, I dunno why I bothered with the AGVs.

Motomail do. (I only added "do" so that the message was 10 characters. I would have just typed "Motomail" otherwise, as it's pretty self-explanatory really but unfortunately only 8 characters. Not like I would reply: "motomail don't".)

And no, I'm not blonde

Weyell, I liked my AGVs when I had them. But (however!) the first one cracked up, despite never being dropped, the second one gave me a scare when I barely hit my head on the road in a low-speed spill and had mild concussion for three days. Both of these helmets were a bit noisy.
AGV #3 was very uncomfortable (bought it cheap, secondhand, barely worn). I guess the problem was none of them fit me properly.
I will say that I loved the AGV visors - much cheaper'n the Shoei ones, AND one on my X-Vent was mirrored and tinted. Despite being much darker'n the tinted one on my AGV, the visibility was still excellent. The chin strap was also better (the padded bit on Shoeis is too damned short).
