Blade, I use a light tint most of the year. You'll be surprised how well it works, especially with the drop down sun visor.

I prefer that £179 one you posted from Lids direct.

Is there much difference in the way of features?

I know what you mean Duke after a few issues this year but he might be. HJC have a new model out in January called the RHPA 11 and they have it in a lorenzo rep. It's twice the price and currenttly only available in the Lorenzo spaceman rep which im not a fan off but other lorenzo designs will probably follow.

More info here Duke but basically Jorge will be wearing a HJC next year or at least he has a contract to do such anyway.

I'm surprised but may be his contract is very binding or they have assured him there will be no more f*ck ups. The latest ones do look a step up from their previous efforts.
