Can you order from UK and get it shipped?

I got mine a couple of weeks ago and even though I can't see it when I'm wearing it, I bet it looks good

A couple of things about the Hurricane from my point of view:
  • A wamer weather helmet - the vents are a bit too good, even when closed
  • Not the quietest, but also not the noisiest
  • The nose piece fell out whilst scratching my nose and scared the **** out of me....replacement is about £20
  • Very comfortable
  • Looks good

All the best....

UK helmet

I gave up on the Shark and bought an Arai Profile with the british flag. I love it, and never have had a helmet as nice.

I saw the Arai a few days after I ordered the Shark, but the Arai was about £250 more....

Too late I know, but I own the shark helmet in question (though I got the grey union jack). I purchased it online from a UK online shop and they gladly sent it to me. Shipping was a bit dear but the helmet was well worth it. It is a great helmet and is very quiet and light. They do run a bit small though. I was at the very top of one size and ordered the next size up and got a very snug helmet. (just like I like).
