Theres a post and link in 'General cycling discussions' about a 'Fake Britain' item on, well fake helmets. iPlayer link.
Rather than asking over there thought I'd try here as to thoughts on fake helmets.
If you want to wear a helmet, you don't want a fake, it should conform and pass relevant tests as it may be needed to do what you bought it for.
OTOH how would you know? Is a lesser standard of protection and the placebo effect of having something on your bonce good enough to keep the pro-wearers content anyway?
