Can anyone spot the difference aside from colour and price?

Aha.

Is it the same inside, ie. pads and retention system do we think?

If you preferred the older On One Enduro Pro, then the 7 iDP M2 is available too, but with neon colours and a fancy peak.

I tried the carnac one. Basically a variation on the cheapest rock solid piss pot you could buy with enduro styling. Worth £20 but deffo no more.
You can see where the money goes on more expensive brands for sure.

I have the On-One - good helmet for the price, once you've added a an extra pad at the back that is....

Take one spare pad from previous helmet:

Add small velcro dot:

Attach aforementioned pad to Velcro:

And voila! a wearable comfy winter/night ride helmet:

I also have the 7iDP M2 - but in un-stealth orange!!

The M2 is a really comfy lid.

Did have a trawl around the internet, and ended up getting one from Wheelies for £55. They may not have all sizes in all colours.

Helmet sizing appears to be spot on. (I'm 57cm)

Chain reaction have got some dayglo colour M2's in XL/XXL which start at 60cm, for £38. [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/7-idp-m2-helmet/rp-prod128140 ]Chain Reaction[/url]

Cheers, I will buy both sizes with free returns.

I also notice Paypal will refund return costs if paid originally by paypal.

£55 is probably my limit.
