    just made a purchase from this german based company (new to me)
    they look similar to sportsbike shop with free delivery & return (higher threshold though) and 2 years return policy!

    fingers crossed on the goods!

    Nothing glamorous. Xlite 702 got. Heavily discounted (discontinued I think)
    Won’t set the mine is bigger than yours crowd on fire. Worth a try for me as I like to try a different shape to my shoei

    Happy to see you've still got the Ad Block installed! How is it coping for you?

    you can set to filter to unblock your favorite website:cool:

    back to louis. I got an email about my order saying they had a IT glitch and could not find the location of the items (they have a central warehouse + a number of outlets)

    So hopefuly it is a reliable business (german off course;)). Best to hold off till I complete my shoping expereince & keep you updated.
    PS they have a UK contact number putting you through to Hamburg. It is displayed when you change the country to UK.
    Also they transaction is in € so it is a foreing currency transaction

    Yeah this is so until you actually get to the payment page where the charge is in € and (TBH clearly explained).

    I am still waiting for the helmets I ordered 1st Otc:mad: They did have an IT glitch on the day which may have affected the despatch process so hopefuly the DHL man will turn up today:)

    finally arrived , few days later than expected. Unfortunately the helmets were not suitable.
    Now I am going to test their return efficiency!

    @nigelrb I got this Bell M5X Daytona Carbon for £125 in a clearance sale on Amazon a couple of years back. Open vents though so shit in winter but so light when in use.

    Good call. That's the sort of thing I'll be looking for for my Daytona.

    Having lashed out on @PauloHRC 's 'personalised' Red Bull helmet, I'll save myself for the NEC where I'll hopefully find a good price carbon. Many on here speak well of the Xtra Lite, so that's in my mind. Cheers!;)

    Scott Redding wears Shark lids and is originally from just down the road from you.

    Not saying you are as good as him, just pointing out that you can't just blame the lid :p

    The return process was painless and the refund very fast. :)

    There is a big BUT I discovered. Payment was made in € so was the return. Dirreferent rates were used which left me short by £10 (total invoice was €285, £254):mad::eek:
    So I am not impressed to say the least by gettigng caught out like this.

    Neverthless, I give the company a high rating for their service:cool:

    Shame about the money thing, it's always good to have a retailer with impeccable service.
