Not sure if I’d ever have the need for a bag to keep my helmet in – I tend to take it with me or, at bigger events like bike shows or races, there’s usually somewhere to hand the helmet in. Nevertheless, Oxford reckon there’s enough demand to warrant the Lid locker and by all accounts, It’s a very well thought out product.
It’s a bag you can put your helmet in and securely tie it to your bike so you don’t have to carry it around. It’s in a bag purely to keep it protected from rain and muck – with the actual steel cable doing the securing of the helmet. But it seems to be pretty well made and the cable goes through the visor opening to lock it straight to the bike. It also has a Velcro strap that you can wrap around somewhere on the bike to suspend the helmet above the ground; useful if it’s raining (or parking on a sodden, slippy, muddy field where people are busy dropping bikes and smashing fairings take note Brands Hatch.) Rant over. It also apparently folds up pretty small when stowed away – the cable springs into a tight coil and the bag packs away to nothing.
The Oxford lid locker retails for about £20.
