I've been riding motorbikes since I was in my twenties and one thing I've learned is that buying cheap gear, whether that's helmets, gloves, boots or jackets, really is a false economy.
Cheap motorbike gear probably won't perform or fit in quite the way you want it and it certainly won't last as well as good quality gear from reputable brands, so once you've bought that cheap stuff you'll end up replacing it all with more expensive stuff. So you might as well skip step one and save yourself some money in the long run.
The downside of buying good quality bike gear is that the costs can really start to mount up. You can easily spend over £500 on a helmet or a jacket and upwards of £100 on items like bike jeans, boots and gloves. I think it's an investment worth making but I'm always on the lookout for bike gear sales so I can get quality stuff at a discount.
These are the best motorbike helmets money can buy.
Right now, UK retailer GetGeared – which carries a frankly massive range of stock – has a winter sale on with up to 50% off.
