It’s been a while since I did a product review, so I thought I’d share my thoughts on a product which I feel would be a worthwhile investment for any motorcycle rider.<\/p>\n

As you know, I’m a Pacsafe whore<\/a>. Whenever I need to purchase a bag (or storage apparatus) for a particular need, my first instinct is to check if Pacsafe has got a bag that addresses that specific need. When I started riding, I was pleased to find out that they too had made a very practical “bag” for my use – the Lidsafe Anti-Theft Helmet Bag.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, had<\/em> is the operative word – as the bag seems to have been discontinued (even before I got to motorcycle riding). Thankfully, online shops seem to be carrying excess of the product, so if you decide that this product is for you after reading this review – I suggest you make haste and secure your own as soon as you can.<\/p>\n

Solution to a problem<\/h1>\n

Apart from the bike itself, the helmet is one of the most important possessions a rider may have. Unfortunately, because of its shape and size, it is also one of the most cumbersome non-negotiables<\/em> to be lugging around. While its easy enough to find a way to secure it to your bike, some helmets can be quite pricey (depending on how you value your skull) – and therefore riders would prefer to take good care of them and not just leave them hanging\/exposed to the elements while they’re away.<\/p>\n

The only way for a person to have the peace of mind of leaving their helmet on their bikes [while protecting its finish] is to put it inside a hardshell case that’s secured to the bike<\/a>. Of course the implications is that you compromise the aesthetics of your bike by having some permanent fixture on your bike – whether it be the bag itself, or the rack it connects to.<\/p>\n

Lidsafe<\/h1>\n

The Lidsafe solves this issue: You only have to use it when you’re off<\/strong> your bike – or not use it at all (if you decide to just bring your helmet along with you). Its outer layer is water-resistant, so it’ll keep the helmet from getting soaked should it rain. Its inner layer is felt to prevent scratches if it’s resting against your bike 1 <\/sup><\/a>Wish I could say the same for the bike hehehe<\/span><\/span>
