    The only reason there isn't more damage to the lower half is because I had a bluetooth headset installed there and that took a lot of the damage.

    Do you have a post explaining what happened somewhere? Looks like a nasty off - how did the rest of your gear fair?

    I am only starting biking, and didn't want to commit too much before I know if I will stick with it or not - so I bought a Nitro Aikido the other day from Croassans@Newry. Approximately €135, and rated full 5 starts by (the much debated here as I see) SHARP test. It's very comfortable and not too heavy. I know some of you have arleady assumed I don't like my head / that I have a cheap head - I don't know, I just hope I never get into a situation that pushes this helmet to it's limits.

    It's noisy enough, but maneagable with a normal pair of cx300s (in-ear), I can listen to radio/music if I set the phone to slightly louder than what I would normally set it to for normal listening / walking around.

    When I said you cant fall on your ear I did not mean literally! But its unlikely to be thrown off a bike and land directly on your EAR!!!! The 1st point of impact most helmets get is the top Qtr panel....but yes every crash is different.

    I was holding the white open face Caberg helmet that got the 5 stars in Crossans, and it was a dire helmet it really was.....for a start an open face helmet should never get 5 stars as they would not be as safe as a full face helmet.

    Didn't notice any open face caberg on the site. My experience with hein gericke is that they'll say anything to make a sale.

    Could not agree more, I could have bought a GIVI box for a helmet and they would have said perfect fit.....In contrast to Crossans where I selected the helmet and spent 25mins upstairs getting it customed to my "CRUST" and it was well worth both the time and money to go up there.

    Top service, but my only criticism is they do you on the exchange rate a bit...:mad:
