Looking for a helmet no fancy colours needed black would be fine. Budget of £40 for a light comfortable and protective helmet any suggestions?

    One that fits.

    Seriously, helmet shapes are not all the same. You need to try a few on and find one that fits your head shape.

    Try some on for fit. Get one with a peak if its trails you're riding. They've all passed the safety tests so its down to comfort.

    I've just ordered an Endura Singletrack having tried a mates for size, usually around £70, got mine on offer for £41 but the offer has ended now.

    My noggin falls between a medium and large on many helmets (sometimes getting a fit is impossible with either), Endura's whacky sizing puts me in the middle of their M/L size which probably helped it fit nicely!
