AGV K-Series Motorbike Helmet

Good lid for getting about town. Also, comfortable and fits me perfectly. Cost £99

Lid has been destruction tested - current lid has covered around 25000 miles in all weathers all year round on all types of road so it really has been given a beating and I'm still a loyal fan, if only AGV kept the bright yellow graph's going (personal taste).

I drop it (the lid) quite a lot. It once bounced off the side of a stationary vehicle. Also hit by errant squash balls on occasion. After 2 years of vigourous punishment the lid is basically intact, although the (mostly superfluous) plastic rim around the neck of the lid has cracked in a few places.

However if you're riding a 600 or above then the egg-shaped aerodynamics will probably blur your vision and the wind noise will be unbearable.
