Details last updated Apr 2019

We carefully select which stores we recommend to our customers. Each of our recommended stores must add something marvellous to you. They might be a pleasure to buy from; have feedback systems where customers can rate their performance; offer an unrivalled level of choice or lowest prices – or offer great service when things go wrong or we need to return stuff. Or preferably do all of the above!

Below, we’ve listed out why you should choose one of our recommended stores and provided quick links to jump to pages on their websites to find the latest ordering/returns info. Plus you can see at-a-glance some of their key terms and conditions, returns and delivery policies.

Disclosure: as always, should you follow one of our links and buy anything, we get a small % of the sale price at no extra cost to you – the price you see using our links is the same as going to the site directly.

Note: all helmet returns to all stores need to be in as-new condition with tags and stickers attached in original packaging. If they’re not, they won’t accept them back.

US Stores

Note: if you’re looking to order from outside the US, you may find some stores won’t ship certain brands of gear to you due to licensing agreements.

Revzilla  

Revzilla are based in Philadelphia and, at the time of writing, have an amazing rating of 9.8/10 stars on Reseller Ratings. They offer free shipping on orders over $39.99 to 48 states, have a 30 day no quibble returns policy and offer a pricematch too. That’s a winning combo and well worth a recommendation in anyone’s book!

Rocky Mountain ATV.MC

Rocky Mountain ATV.MC started off in 1985 providing bikes and gear for ATV riders but have since moved into dirt and street riding gear. They have stores in Utah and Kentucky, and if you buy online and your order’s over $75, you’ll get free delivery to 48 states. Also, if your gear’s the wrong size, they’ve a 45 day no quibble returns policy, and for items of apparel – including helmets – if it doesn’t fit, they’ll pay the return shipping themselves. Oh, and they do a price match too. And if all that’s not enough, check out their fantastic customer ratings below.

2 Wheel

Based in California, 2 Wheel ship all helmets over $49 for free. And because they ship from over 100 warehouses across the US, they aim to get your order to your door in 3 days or less. They must do pretty well because their customer reviews are amazing (4.8/5 on Google reviews at the time of writing). They have a best price guarantee too and if your helmet doesn’t fit, return it within 30 days and they’ll pay for return shipping. All sounds pretty good, right?

Riders Domain

Riders Domain’s online store has now been merged with Rocky Mountain ATV MC’s (see above) and is discontinued. Rocky Mountain have similar awesome ratings though and we now suggest you check out them if you’re looking to buy a new helmet or other gear.

J&P Cycles  

J&P Cycles are based in Texas but have stores in Iowa, Florida and South Dakota too. They bill themselves as the world’s largest aftermarket store. Not entirely sure how they’d know that but anyway, they have a decent (and improving) online rating currently sitting around 9.3/10 (see link below for latest rating) so they should be a name you can trust. Their parent group also owns brands like Vance & Hines, Progressive and Speed and Strength so they know a thing or two about motorcycles! J&P offers free shipping to US48 for most orders over $99 as well as returns within 120 days of invoice date including hassle free exchanges with free returns on wrong-fitting gear (should include helmets but see each product page to ensure it qualifies).

BTO Sports

BTO Sports have been based in California since 1999 and specialise mostly in dirt bike gear, though they’ve since moved into street and adventure cycle wear too. They get great online ratings (see below) and will deliver for free on orders over $85. If you need to exchange gear that doesn’t fit, they’ll pay for the return shipping on first order and give you 45 days to return it. Note – this doesn’t apply for returns where you’ll have to pay for shipping. Also they ship mostly from CA so it can take up to 3 days for East coast land delivery. For quick reference, here’s links to some key ordering info on their website:

Amazon

Most of us love shopping at Amazon, so we link into some helmet suppliers there too. On Amazon, you get loads of different stores and sellers offering helmets and gear for sale so make sure you check out their ratings before you buy and only buy from the most reputable sellers. Doing that’ll help you avoid buying non-genuine helmets too.

European Stores

When a helmet’s not available from our partner US stores, we’ll sometimes direct you to our European recommended retailers instead. Again, if you buy anything from those stores, we’ll get a small % of the transaction at no extra cost to you. Having said that, if you do buy from Europe, please bear in mind there will be an extra shipping cost to pay, it’ll usually take longer to get your helmet to you and you may well have to pay import taxes when it enters the US. Note also, helmets won’t be DOT labelled which means that while they’ll conform to the – often more stringent European ECE 22.05 approval (which actually requires mandatory testing of all helmets before they go on sale, unlike in the DOT standard) – they’re not legal to be used in mandatory helmet states in the US or anywhere else that doesn’t use ECE certification.

SportsBikeShop

SBS are based near Boston, Lincolnshire, UK, hold stock for a massive range of helmets (and other gear) and are known for managing the online store for long-running UK motorcycle paper, MotorCycleNews. You can read their TrustPilot reviews here where, at the time of writing, they score an incredible 9.8/10. After ordering, your helmet is usually dispatched either that day or the next.

Here are some details of the service they provide:

GetGeared

GetGeared is another UK-based motorcycle gear retailer, this time with stores in Leeds and Leatherhead (North and South). They offer a decent range of gear and helmets backed up with a consistently high rating at Trustpilot (click the link below to see their latest score). If you order before 3pm, your helmet should be sent that day and your exact shipping costs are calculated in the basket before checkout.
