Hi All,

After my old POC Trabec saved me from at the very least concussion from my intimate moment with a PO van, I need to replace it.

Any suggestions?

Happy with anything sub £125

    Agreed, the Trabec is one of the nicest looking helmets of that style.

    If I was spending that much I'd have one of them.

    Surely they offer a 'helmet replacement' scheme after an accident, usually the cheapest way back into a decent helmet.
  • Used to use a Trabec. Found the the Troy Lee A1s are a similar shape and fit.

    Might be cheaper elsewhere though, but that was the cheapest, at the time, for a camo one.
