Hi All

Just wondering if these are available / know where to get some from - in the UK ?

Have just come back from a trip to the USA, did ask in a hardware store but ran out of time to get to the shop.

Cheers

Alan.

Will probably run the gauntlet, but they aren’t meant to be a fashion item.

Then there’s the issue in regards the date stamp in the UK / EU safety helmet, and the shelf life of 3 years or thereabouts.

Seems an extreme example, but extreme examples are usually the easiest to use…but you might have certain contractors buying a job lot of cheap open faced motorbike helmets and claiming that they think them to be suitable.
