It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Just looked at their site, these are all Chinese garbage fashion helmets, many of which can be bought literally everywhere.

£10,000, but there's barely a distinction on this level of gross negligence:

Tests revealed that 3 out of 4 helmets failed safety requirements catastrophically, with one helmet recording results that indicated a 100% risk of fatality in a collision.

This is the website of that company, somehow still up of course: https://bikerslifestyle.co/
