    Cotters in Ballymount are usually good value for clothing & helmets.

    Make sure you buy before the VAT goes up!!

    Cotters will still be cheaper than the north, he's got some great pre christmas deals on at the moment and has a new shop so you can see everything.

    Cotters, matched online price and then gave me a further discount along with a proper fitting.

    And make sure that you try on the helmet you want to buy before getting it shipped. Even thought they should all be the same size each brand/style will fit different so a proper fitting should always be done prior to purchase.

    yes try it on in a shop before you buy but give the shop the option of matching the price, by the time you factor in shipping and exchange rate there is a good chance you will get it for the same money.
