Bargain Hunter | When did you last change your lid? Hot deals on helmets to help you upgrade

If there’s one bit of kit that should always be in tip-top condition, then it’s your helmet. Day in day out, it’s subjected to UV rays, exhaust fumes and general road grime, not to mention human sweat, all of which will conspire to erode its effectiveness. How often you should replace it depends heavily on useage, but whenever the time comes it can be a significant outlay – unless you shop smart.

Manufacturers release new designs and colour options for their existing range on a regular basis, and a keen eye will spot the price drops when retailers need to make room for them on their shelves. Which is exactly what we’ve done this week, highlighting a bunch of fantastic deals on full face and adventure lids.
