Craig,
That's NOT a valid reason to keep all of us (it's own customers) in the dark! It may be for you but I am sure most would prefer to know a little more about the results of these tests. We're talking about peoples safety here not Colonel Saunders secret ingredients! In any case we don't wish to know how they manufacture their product just how well it stands up to these exhaustive tests. If another manufacturer wanted to find out more about their product and how it is constructed it would be a straightforward job to forensically evaluate the product in laboratory conditions (which I suspect is done as a matter of course anyway).
This is fantastic news for all motorcyclists not just those in the UK. I am sure that the vast majority of website visitors will be bikers outside the UK. It's amazing it's taken the government so long to get their act together in this respect.
I don't know about your last comment regarding Arai producing the best helmets.... There can be no doubt however that their product is one of the most expensive. The most expensive doesn't always equate into the best value and safest.
Lets all just wait to see the results before we leap to the defence of the likes of Arai etc...
Neil
