what do you think of this (helmet)

this helmet

cheap enough; for use in car only.

added: it is really to keep my ears/head warm; I have full face FM helmet for protection.

i'm not keen on wearing a helmet at the best of times, but if you're going to wear one, it might as well be full face.

what about when that bee/twig/stone hits you in the mouth?

the dentist's bill alone makes it worth getting a full face one.

I'll just point out that £15 for the item, and £20 postage is taking the p**s, if it doesn't turn up in the post, you can only claim the purchase price back, not the postage.

Rather than the top half of a helmet like that, or the back half of a helmet like an open faced bike helmet, What I want is the front half of a helmet, a bit like a fencing mask or paintball mask only not as stupid looking. Stones and bees are likely to hit your face more than your skull.

It's coming from Hong Kong so it will cost something like that. The negatives say that the goggles are like toys.
For a face shield only

Make sure the clamp is tight though
