I want to get back onto my MTB, it's been about 6 years since I've ridden it eek I'm now married with little'uns so need to be responsible and wear a helmet. Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent quality & inexpensive solution? I will mainly be riding on road with the occasional off road ride but nothing even remotely "serious"

Thank you

Thank you, £22.69 seems like a bargain. Is this considered to be ok and not a ste helmet? As in will it do the job if I stack it?

£20 instead of £100.

If that one doesn't take your fancy have a look at what else is being discounted.

Helmets aren't something to scrimp on

all options are out of stock of those.

The one at On-one, although not that model, I had one of their lids and it was ok and i tested it wink

Most of the cash when you spend extra on a helmet goes towards making one that's better ventilated and lighter, rather than safer.

If it's a reputable brand, they all have to pass a specific safety chaeck to get their kitemark (though there is some argument about whether or not that's actually worth anything).

Thanks for the suggestions, I opted for a Giro Skyline II.
