Decided flip is the way to go. The fit is excellent and the quality seems very good. Not used it yet but will give a better review later in case anyone is interested.
Treated myself, new lid.

Took a while to "bed" in but is now comfy as comfy can be

However, even reduced by the time you add the Bluetooth kit which adds another £350 or so it's a damn expensive bit of kit!

I have the non-flip version of this helmet. Had it over 2 years now. A very good crash helmet that has made me swap from a long line of Arai's.Herb wrote:http://www.jsaccessories.co.uk/helmets/flip-front/rpha-max-helmet-silver.html

I don't know how many they took over, but certainly HG Leicester is now J+S. They still have some old HG stock that they are moving on cheap so a few genuine bargains still available.big rob wrote:yesdave the german wrote:Has J & S taken over some of Hein Gericke's stores?

I have the same helmet. I also liked the idea of the comms system, but the price?!?!?slparry wrote:I found mine painful at first, had to carry a spare in the panniers and swap after about 30 minutes use.NA1959 wrote:Just replaced my lid as BMW series 6 flip was on offer at my local dealer for£250.

I bought a Scala rider Q1 for £80 off ebay, super bit of kit, does the job very well.
