goodo123 Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 I was under the impression you should never buy a helmet second hand? Unknown history and was also told it moulds to the users head shape aaswell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mongrel- Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 To a point. However, if you are happy to take on trust that it's never been dropped etc that's fine and tbh if it's only been worn twice it's not had time to mould. I'd have no real concerns buying it....other than I may find it a bit snug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRNDL Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 I would certainly buy it if my head was not so big... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown history and was also told it moulds to the users head shape aaswell? If I were to look at a second hand helmet and it had marks and scratches all over it then yes I'd give it a miss, but if it had only been worn a couple of times then I wouldn't have a problem, this has never been bumped, dropped or scratched, and to be honest modern helmets don't mould to your head until they're really well worn and then they should be replaced anyway, to all intent and purpose if you buy a brand new one then ware it a few times then it's a used helmet, but you'd still keep wearing it wouldn't you.

Sco77w Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Put it on eBay. I had the same helmet in plain black with an extra tinted visor. And IIRC I got £280 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz2202 Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 If my head wasn't the size of a large swede then at that money I would be asking if you had any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason kaye Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I think it's the size that's stopping it from selling, that's why it's only £80, nobody's got a little head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
