Hopefully Finbarr Saunders avoids this info.. Picked up my Speedframe just now and it had all white deposits on it.. hmm, peeled a bit off thinking something had spilt on it. Now it looks like the coating that gives it a matt finish is coming off in places. Weird? Other Speedframe owners seen this? Guess it just looks odd and I don't need to replace the lid

Just the other day, a very good friend of mine showed me his helmet and it was peeling just like that. I didn't want to touch it.

I'd guess its been over exposed. Time for a new one, or a dose of penisillin. 😉

Yes, I shall only use it indoors in future!

I tried asking on Fox's online chat and they basically said "I don't bleedin know"

So, what brand of helmet for a Fox shaped head? I don't want another one that creaks like an old door (the MIPS) or peels like a ginge on holiday in Tenerife. If anyone has any recommendations (under £100, my head's not that valuable)

SportPursuit have loads of lids for under a ton. More than likely to be a few that are Fox shaped.
