New helmet - cheap prices - ozigoo - 10-25-2022
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...

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

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.
