Online bargains can turn out to be real disappointments. We bought a discount Shoei helmet online and took it to the Shoei UK specialists to see if it was the real deal. Guess how that went...

Life saving equipment fakes should be prosecuted!

[@6amario]

Thank you so much for that video, I’m suppose to meet a guy to buy a Ducati helmet I will definitely look for manufacturers marking

[@NooBiker]

Always buy from a reputable shop, ideally a local one where you can try the fit.

[@imagesbyraphael]

Name and shame the seller!
It's bad enough for a scammer to rip you off with a knock off. But what makes me angry here, is that their deception is risking your life >:-(

[@jungleninja-tropic5690]

i liked how the shoei guy agreed at the end. maybe thinking 'yes, its for the best" thumbs up

[@Master080-vr5ll]

I appreciate your information and support bickers life

[@blue03r6]

Just quit buying helmets on Amazon etc. Buy it from a local dealer. Then you know it's real

[@fabfrenchies1974]

Some people don't live close to a dealer and have no choice, so it is not that simple. These videos help to know if you should send that junk back!@

[@viciu080]

So my Shoei Rf-1400 I just bought from eBay has all genuine features but E tag on a chin straps, should I be worried?

[@fhilmedia]

I love the tips and advice that you said, sir.

[@NatsumeKonno]

Your suppost to cut the straps. Or damage it from the outside so no one will use it if they dumpster dive or resell it.

[@zenzen9131]

Your local fire brigade will take old helmets as they use them to practice getting people out of them in emergencies :)

[@NooBiker]

Missed opportunity for some sledge hammering...

[@מוריג.ק]

There has to be a better way of spotting fakes than looking for stickers and tags, which can all be forged

[@DmitriMironov]

Thanks. Very informative!

[@elixier33]

Fantastic video x

[@trevorphillips3055]

Why not try for a refund and report the seller to trading standards? You should of known better for 60 quid!!!

[@byahenihashtag]

Wow very informative sir... Keep on vlogging new fan here

[@PrateekJain-pi9jc]

If it can be fake, and you buy from Amazon, then you probably got a fake one. That's my simple mantra.
Shell out extra and buy from a good dealer.

[@nasserdeen1]

EBay sells a lot of these fake helmets

[@esteban9936]

is the e mark only on european models and do the two stickers vary as well (im in the usa)

[@azizlenox]

Thanks a lot

[@tucker9162]

Hopefully you destroy it before someone uses it and hurts themselves?

[@tonyh4233]

I would have loved to see how much of a impact it would take....people who manufacture fake critical safety items should be jailed

[@oblivionslade2850]

Remember people there is actual dot certified helmets out there that are straight shit are have really por build quality

[@gravel_slope]

biking is about riding fast and dying fast -- my dead grandad
but the thing is I need kids so they can continue the cykle before I go by the family moto ;)

[@vanjamenadzer]

Yeah, thats stupid.

[@abyalex235]

How to spot a fake AGV helmet?

[@LeoMkII]

Not the Brazilian atençao please 😂

[@lonesharkrider9252]

it's look like same design with a zebra helmet in the Philippines

[@raiseinets3759]

Don't you mean Evo helmets?

[@audiobookschannel3753]

HNJ Zebra at Evo helmets = Substandard

*Tengo ese casco y estoy enamorado.🌼 **allabout.wiki/Downhill** Su propósito dual lo hace apto para ambos propósitos con limitaciones. Si vas a la tierra, usa un casco con antiparras. El casco el liviano, estético, versátil y súper recomendable para los que andamos en asfalto el 95% del tiempo. No acuerdo con tu recomendación de no comprarlo. Porque es duro el inversor de visores?. Podés parar, cambiarlo y seguir. Una exageración. Por lo de la tierra? Por favor! Si vas a hacer Cross o te manejas en calles de tierra, elegí otro. Pero denostar así a un hermoso casco que, por su precio, devuelve el precio, me parece al menos irresponsable. Así que, señores, comprenlo, es hermoso, cómodo, práctico y liviano.*

[@tonykartracer8032]

I'll take Fake Shoei and feed a small country with the money I just saved from buying the 'real' one. Thank you.

[@blue03r6]

Because you have a $5 brain.

[@raiseinets3759]

@@blue03r6 $5 is probably already generous

[@charliefabian7345]

Broke ass lol

[@audiobookschannel3753]

nah you just don't care about your head 😂

[@jeffreywong5112]

So fake! bwahahahahahaha!

[@bigbootybartholomew6680]

So do you Brits call a cowboy hat a ten gallon hat or a 37 litre hat?
