I would have to agree. I bought a cheap motorcycle rain suit from Lidl and with a towel around the neck, one can stay remarkably dry.
I also bought a perfectly good open face helmet at Lidl for around £25, with a full face opening visor, which does everything a full face helmet does, and more, and before anyone says that one should always go for a quality helmet, which they will, I rationalised it out, that my Three Wheeler was safer than any bike, and very unlikely to tip me onto my head, and I was only buying the helmet for comfort and protection, therefore, as long as it comfortable, any dubious lack of strength characteristics were not required for this application.
Paul, as long as the lid is "E" marked it should be fit for purpose even on a bike, but in the M3W where it is mostly to stop bugs, rain and small road debris hitting your face then why pay more? Good call!
