Hey guys,

Looking to buy a new lid this week and looking for advice. I realised this week that my trusty cheap AGV S4 is now 8 years old and I really don’t feel comfortable in it any more!

I have a budget of about 300-350. I’d like a reputable brand, preferably something black based or black and grey based. Reading some reviews I have limited it mainly to the following:

Shoei Xr1100
Shoei Qwest
Arai Axces

Is there anything else I should be considering? FC – Moto seem to be the best value – anywhere else you recommend?

I use my bike mainly for short (30 mins or less) jaunts around the city.
