Bargain Hunter | Find top spec lids on top deals with up to 45% off helmets this week

Not only does a motorcycle helmet protect your brainbox in the event of an accident, it also makes travelling at speed a more bearable experience, providing you with a cosseted control room from which to focus on your ride. It’s something you should think about replacing on a regular basis, as from the moment you take a lid out of the box it begins to degrade, with sweat, road grime and UV rays all conspiring to reduce its lifespan. Keeping your head both comfortable and safe is the ideal combo for concentration, so to help you stay on your game we’ve bagged a flurry of deals on full face helmets.
