So I needed a new helmet, mine was over 10 years old and didnt fit as well as it should as the foam was definatley worn. Tried a few on in the shops and the one that fit the best was a Shoei GT Air 2, however it was the most expensive one at AU$1100 and I wasnt prepared to spend that much.
I looked online and found Champion Helmets in the Netherlands who had free shipping worldwide. The same exact helmet was AU$650 almost 1/2 price.
This was for either a plain matt black or white, I decided to get one with decals for an extra AU$100. So for AU$750 my helmet arrived 2 weeks after I ordered it. Very professional and helpful company, answered all my questions immediatley,so I highly recommend them to anyone needing a new helmet...

That’s a great saving. Well done!

Yep. Champion Helmets in the Netherlands is where I bought my Schuberth C5 a few weeks ago. The helmet sells for over $750 in the U.S. I paid $441 with free shipping.

Yes- I've bought helmets, boots, jackets, pants, gloves- from all sorts of countries and saved a LOT of money.

Just remember to use a credit card that doesn't charge a foreign transaction fee.

Nice score, Shoei is my preferred brand of helmet as well as they fit me perfectly and are nicely made

Nicely done ozigoo.

Good tip, ozigoo. Safety at a good price. Can’t beat that!

I have four helmets now, and am considering getting another, since my HJC Modular was slightly damaged in an unplanned get-off. Everyone says to replace it, but I don't know, I really liked it. All it needs is a replacement face shield. It has a few scuffs, but I don't think it's integrity has been compromised.
