You make some very good points Rob.
I've e-mailed the site i got that info from to get thier scientific view of the whole 'shelf life' debate. I'll pass it on if they reply:)

But then again I have never understood why a 650.00 Shoei that meets the SAME Snell safety standards as a 150.00 HJC that both offer similar features and both weigh the same vary so much in price...exactly what am I getting for the extra $500.00 again...
Fashion statement? Most designs are worn by the race teams... people want 'the' look. I chose shoei because I found it comfortable and the HJC,Shark, Arai didn't fit my big bonce as good.
