Just bought a decathlon Btwin sport 7 helmet for £35

http://www.decathlon.co.uk/sport-7-btwin-racing-helmet-id_8211974.html

Cracking fit if you have a met/bell (helmet) shaped head

Hardly any exposed eps, nice fitting system and a free set of spare pads 🙂

What safety standard do these conform to?

You Could always google...

Every body know that when it comes to safety equipment, especially helmets, the more you spend the better the protection so these must be rubbish. 🙄

Since when has £35 been "cheap" - i would say more top end entry level. Giro hex 2 years ago was only £50 and everybody loved those

2 years ago WTF?

You can't buy many helmets below £30 now. You can also spend £150.

ROB J Thanks for the PSA ...

Not for me I've got enough helmets thanks... Seems STW has it's fair share as well... judging by some of the reply posts.

FFS the guy has put up a PSA in good faith... if its not for you... Jog on.

What standard is that cynic-al?

He's wrong about that too.
