Because my commute is either Due East or Due West , I can often find I'm riding straight into the rising or setting sun. Before my flip down that caught me out occasionally. Now if I round a corner, or crest a hill, & find the Sun suddenly blinding me my problem is solved at the flip of a lever.
But it would be a sad world if we all had the same set of requirements

Lots of other stuff as well.

What company are having a clearance?

Also are the 10 and 11 the same fittings as each other? I would guess they would be the same sizing and shape as each other.

Sorry Rossgo, I forgot to put a link in my post.

As Andy quite correctly pointed out for us, it is indeed Lids Direct.

Good luck finding something that fits, their stock seems to be very limited

Cheers guys. I'm unsure when to do this yet. Seems very good deals at the moment though

Yep, the Lids Direct sale seems to be attracting a LOT of attention.:

I think I've missed out on Lid Direct sale seems to only have big sizes or out of stock on the item!!

And I'm in love with this HJC RHPA 11

So with that in mind I am really liking these 2 lids

1st one (favourite)

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291798843980" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

2nd one (very plain though)

Both come with Pinlock and a dark smoke visor.

Lorenzo rep. I'm biased but defo the rep for me and you don't see that many around either so a little different.

The white one is far too plain.

So I took a look at the white RPHA 11 and the Rep RPHA 10, they are both stonking lids!! I orginally thought the white was plain and boring but when I saw it actually looks pretty good...HOWEVER and it's a big HOWEVER it does sort of scream out old man must be seen at any costs other than that I actually quite like it. Oh and another thing was even my dad said it was boring and he is usually the type of guy to say 'that makes you stand out buy that one!!' maybe I'm getting old dam!!

I asked my GF what she thought out of the two and she said the white one because I've currently got a green and white lid and she says don't go for the same colours I fought my case saying but it's a Rep and different design but she was so sure with the white...so there's only one option really....I definitely can't go for the white now

Oh I also saw this one at a Infinity Clearance Warehouse



which I quite liked too.

I popped into J&S where they have a few of the Rep RPHA 10s which was lovely but there's no chin piece which I sort of want so I asked about getting in the 11. They found only 1 in the whole company but it was a large!! I said that I've found it online so the guy gave me the shops card and said I'm going to be ringing Head Office on Monday they usually have more than what the systems show but it's limited number so if you are still interested give us a call and we're see if we can get it in and potentially price match whatever I've seen online as he said he would rather his store get the custom rather than anyone else!! To be honest I felt pretty good in the shop and talking to the staff certainly a nice environment, I'm sort of hoping they do have one in my size as I'd love to give them the business

The plain white makes you look like a wannabe copper.

That black and yellow one is nice.

must admit I didn't even think of that....hmmmmm maybe I don't like it now!!

I really do like this black and yellow also, my dad pointed out very quickly that it's the same colour scheme as his full face flip up one that he was wearing today...never thought I'd say this but my dad got taste

That yellow and black looks good.

Take your time, rossgo. You will know when its the right helmet and deal for you.

In the HJC RHPA 11 range the blue Darter is nice imo.

Cheers Duke definitely still keeping my eye out

Cheers Blade. I saw this one online. I'm not crazy on the look for my tastes. I'm still undecided at the moment i like the Rep but also quite like this black and yellow. It's a hard choice as I'll have to live with it for upto 5 years!

I vote for the black and yellow as well. I like the CF detail in it too.

I think the black and yellow is my second favourite to be honest I would say the Rep is still my favourite like Blade says it's not like they are everywhere even a shop are finding it difficult to get their hands on one!!
