[Closed] Where can I buy a matte black D3?

Anyone?

Bike24 have them but I'm not keen.

end of season in USA and change to mips mean there aren't many about? probably not true but just a guess

Why aren't you keen on Bike24?

I got mine at jenson USA. Waaay cheaper than the UK. Just make sure they mark it as a helmet for vat exemption

Didn't take into consideration there could be a new line coming in?

Would have preferred to order from the UK but after now reading of people using Bike24 etc regularly I'm not too fussed.

Can I ask how you get them to mark it as vat exempt Tom?

<Pedant>Zero-rated, not exempt</Pedant>

And in order to qualify as such, it has to be CE-marked and meet EN 1078:1997 - while a US-sold helmet would technically meet the standard (presumably, as it'd be the same as the EU version) it wouldn't have CE marking and therefore would not qualify for zero-rating and I'd expect standard UK VAT (and import duty) to apply.

TLD are changing distributors at the moment, and stock is somewhat thin on the ground - I think most of what was left was jobbed out to WiggleCRC so if they don't have the one you want, you're going to be out of luck unless a shop somewhere happens to have one in stock.

Thanks DC, I had read about different ratings but wasn't sure if it was true or not.

Jenson state on their site they will have more stock end of Feb so I'm hoping there may be more in UK stock not long after.

Would I be right in saying the D3 uses a common shell size and only the liner sizes differ?

Some use a common size (M&L for example) & different pads.

Thanks.

I've now got a L and XL in gnar colours here for sizing. XL is a bigger shell and tbh I prefer the fit of the XL (I think).

Being in between sizes I'm struggling, do people tend to size up with the D3?
