About two weeks ago I completely stuffed up my system 5 helmet (anyone looking for spare visors, I have ...).
So I had to replace my helmet asap, and didn't exactly budget for a new one.
I really wish I could support the local guys & buy local. This will be my first choice.
So this post is not about boycotting local suppliers, just to say that there is other options.

So I had to replace my helmet asap, and didn't exactly budget for a new one.
- First step was to figure out what I want - decide to stay with modular/flip-up helmet
- Next was finding one within my budget, which was rated fairly good. After a day or two searching SA, decided to go global & stumbled across Revzilla. Nice search filters, review videos & good prices
- The obvious choice for me landed on a helmet not available in SA, and decided to take the risk & buy it
- But first searched other website overseas, and found one that makes use of BorderFree - love this, meaning everything is paid upfront - duties, taxes etc. - no surprises
- Placed the order on the 10th, helmet was delivered to my office on the 17th ... just awesome
