just a heads up , i had a student a year or so ago , turned up for cbt , produced his helmet and we could find no ece approved marks anywhere ??? . it turned out he bought his helmet from lidl a bargain at £29.99 . it was illegal in this country . i looked at lidl,s latest offers last week , and there claims of a top quality helmet with bells and whistles . i looked it up in the "sharp" helmet testing website ... and it doesnt exist .. you only get wot you pay for ... id suggest you only buy food from there (probably)
Been to Lidll today, bikers stuff there, Italian made lids, flip and open face, very lightweight, didnt look for CE mark but be surprised if they were not legal for EEC use. Leather boots,looked fine,nice soft leather and cruiser styled...also gloves but not esp heavy quality, thermals which we have bought before and proved great. I say worth a look....
