...not really, no this is not a misplaced thread about Diablo II neither is it a thread about cheating death or something silly, it is however, a thread asking a few questions about what I should be looking for in a helmet.
I'll elaborate, I decided about a few months ago that I'll be getting a 50cc moped so that I can get used to being on the road prior to me taking driving lessons and getting a full driving license and car.
My reasoning being that I'm so bloody polite, if you put me in a car, I'd take hours to drive just three miles not because I have no ability to operate a vehicle, far from it, I'd just give EVERYONE right of way...
Anyway, I've opted for an open-face helmet because to drive a vehicle legally, I need to wear glasses and also I prefer the enhanced field of vision offered by these types of helmets but its not like buying a PC or a mobile phone where you have a list of recogniseable specifications.
Brand and cost aren't also that relevant either as a recent "exposé" I found by I think it was 'Which?' or maybe the government I can't remember, revealed that some cheapish models of helmets can offer more protection than the some of the more expensive models.
I'm prepared to spend between £50 and £75, but what sort of brand of helmet do you recommend I buy chaps and possibly chappettes?

See, if you look at it, you have helmets that cost £60 that get a 5-star rating and some that cost £450 that only get a 4-star rating, unfortunately these only tested the full-faace helmets and not the open-faced helmets I'm interested in.
