What is in the guide
The one decision you cannot take back
An approval mark, familiar brand name or high price cannot compensate for a poor fit. This guide helps you distinguish between the law, product approval and standards such as ECE, DOT, Snell and SHARP, and gives you a ten-minute fit test for the shop. With a buying checklist, a quick decision on replacement after a drop or a crash, and Henri's own experience and preference.
