Keep in mind that a white helmet lowers your accident rate by 24
percent compared to a black helmet (New Zealand study). So I
wear a white helmet only partly to protect my head. It only
protects my head when I crash, but it helps protect all of me
all the time because it allows me to be more noticeable in
traffic.  I finally got a hold of a friend in Manchester and
will getting a helmet through him. In fact the price is much
cheaper at 395 pounds than getting it from Canada In US dollars
that is just over 600.....about what the Schuberth is going for
inmthe states $699. Of course I have to pay the shipping costs
and VAT but figure it just might be worth it. In fact I am
selecting the silver white helmet for cospicouity reasons. Would
have preferred the high glow yellow but none were in stock.
