Sweet are big news in snowboarding and the paddling world. They ARE good, but I am fed up of 'same design different foam and add another £50' approach that they seem to use.

They're the new bike range - I've been a fan of their lids for years and thought about buying a trooper to ride in. But it's a bit pricey - why is it so pricey?

Nice though helmet pron!

The first one is just a TSG - style piss pot which ought to be about £30. I can't see anything special about it. The others don't even look that nice IMO. To each his own...

love the middle all mountain one, I've always wondered why nobody makes something like that, your head is a very valuable part of your body, people will drop loads of cash on bling bike parts but when it comes to purchasing a helmet anything over 70 quid is a bit pricey. if i could try one of the above on and the fit was good it buy it no second thoughts. I've had helmets save me many many times over the years.

The DH helmet uses MIPS technology, which is used in some of the POC helmets. I'd rather buy one of these than a Troy Lee D3.

I have a sweet kayaking helmet I must say its great for a pea head like me, I'd like to think these could be used for both sports for the price?

The middle ones also floating my boat and if it was £199 I'd happily buy it, but £299 is a bit too steep.
