Scorpion Exo-1000, £259.99Miles covered/time: 600/two months What’s good: Surprisingly, the inflatable cheek pads inside the Scorpion EXO-1000 aren’t just a gimmick. The extra support they provide is reassuring as they manage to expand without exerting too much pressure against any one area. The pump and release buttons are well placed on the inside of the chin guard and are as generally ...

Nexx XR1R Carbon helmet, £299.99Miles covered/time: 1000/two months What’s good: This is the best road helmet I’ve worn. The visor is very tall and broad, giving you a fantastic view of the road, sky, clocks and neighbouring lanes. It makes the slit-like view from my AGV Stealth SV feel like wearing Ned Kelly’s steel helmet in comparison. Unlike any other ...

HelmetLok, £12.45 Time used: Six months What’s good: HelmetLok is a carabiner designed to attach your helmet to your handlebars. Open it up, slip it through your D-ring, click it shut and twizzle the combination lock away from your pre-set code. Leave helmet secure in the knowledge that opportunistic thieves can’t grab your lid and run. It’s off-putting enough to ...

Nuvo FX-1 Carbon helmet, £209.99Miles covered/time: 600/three weeks What’s good: It’s an affordable, uni-composite carbon lid. That means it’s very light – 1300g – and its sleek, flickering reflections will send a frisson of excitement through your gut early on a Sunday morn. The vents are unobtrusive and – despite four unmissable NUVO logos – it’s quite the looker. What’s ...

HJC IS-MULTI helmet, £169.99Miles covered/time: 3000/three months What’s good? HJC claims this is “seven helmets in one”. It’s actually more like four in one (we don’t think adding the sun shield counts) but that’s still seriously impressive. What this means is that if you buy an IS-MULTI you can ride a sports bike, a cruiser, a supermoto and a trailie ...

AGV S4 Helmet, £129.99Miles covered/time: 7000/nine months What’s good? Pretty much everything. It’s lightweight, well ventilated and the design is absolutely eye-grabbing. The lining is supportive, comfy, hasn’t become at all baggy in nine months of riding and it’s removable, too. Save £££s on motorcycle helmets Best of all it’s extremely quiet and you can easily listen to an MP3 ...
