In short, I am Looking at buying a new helmet. I am amazed at the diference in price from LBS to wiggle pbk etc. Anyone know the diference between AS and the EN standards?
Im looking at getting a Giro Ionos (or similar style helmet). Have looked at PBK and have narrowed the search down to Giro Ionos or the Kask Vertigo. The Ionos says it meets CE EN 1070 certification. How does this compare to Australian standards? I love the look of the Kask Vertigo but have not heard much about these.... ionos is very well marketed and popular among the pro riders.
What do you think? What can u recommend?

Whatever helmet you decide on ensure it is purchased in Australia as non of these other standards are approved here in Australia. In short if you have an accident whilst wearing a non Australian Standard helmet Insurance wont be paid out . The reason helmets are more expensive here is due to the stringent testing (wrecking) of helmets to get approval

Hello........
your supposed to buy what you can afford.... but never go for the cheapest.
personally i have a caberg trip flip up... its got an internal flip down visor which is awesome and the choice to flip it up so i dont have to take it off to get petrol or smoke.
my girlfriend has shoei xr1300 i think which is pretty sweet.
if you have money to burn id go for an arai but here in the uk there about £400-600.
good luck dude but seriously consider that trip.
