    ..after sunday stack, i’ve inspected me helmet and under the dent from the impact there is obvious cracks in the foam….

    After numerous impacts i think it’s served it purpose and needs replacing, so i’ve cut through the straps to stop me using it again….

    But £124 for a new one 😯 i’m wondering if i should try another brand or model….

    Any recomendations similar to the xen???

    TJ, if i didn’t have it on i’d have a **** bad head ache and a mahosive dent in it, so i’m glad on this occasion i had it on….also i believe if i didn’t have it one i’d of got lateral whip lash if there’s such a thing.

    cheap helmets protect you to the same extent.

    after the first sizeable impact it needs replacing really.

    I like E2s, not a bad price.

    Al, i know that but the xen offers slightly more protection lower down the head…which is where i twatted mine, so i see it as an important design feature reguardless of whether it really did help.

    Stoner, i know, but i’d be replacing my helmets at an alarming rate if i did….and on the other occasions no dents/cracks were apparent, i know, i know just cuz they can’t be seen doesn’t mean the weakness is there, etc.

    xen was purchased as new from fleabay, so no receipt….lbs should help me out though.
