− > Motorcycle gear price comparison — tracks helmets, jackets, suits, boots, gloves, and protection across 50+ retailers in Canada, US, EU, UK, and AU. Computes landed cost including duty, shipping, and currency conversion so the cheapest sticker price isn't mistaken for the cheapest actual cost.− Beyond its 50+ vetted retailers, ALLR also cross-checks each popular model against the broader Shopify motorcycle-gear marketplace (hundreds of independent storefronts) to confirm its ranked landed price stays competitive. That cross-check compares ALLR's landed cost against Shopify storefronts' base prices (which exclude shipping and duty), covers Shopify merchants only, and is reported as an aggregate count of storefronts checked — not a per-store price list. Method and limits: https://allr.io− - [Helmets](https://allr.io/catalog/helmets): full-face, modular, open-face, and half helmets from 50+ retailers− - [Motorcycle gear buying — start here: the complete buyer's playbook](https://allr.io/guides/motorcycle-gear-buying-start-here): A map of ALLR's forty motorcycle gear guides in six groups: helmets, safety standards, complete kits, intercoms, sizing and cross-border buying. Start with a certified helmet that fits, then a complete kit, then compare landed prices. Each row links to the guide that settles one decision.− - [ECE 22.06 vs Snell M2025: what each helmet test covers](https://allr.io/guides/ece-22-06-vs-snell-m2025-helmet-standards): ECE 22.06 is a government type approval; Snell M2025 is a voluntary lab standard with retail sample testing. Both now include an oblique (rotational) test, DOT does not. Here are the test speeds, who vouches for each label, what independent labs found, and how many helmets in ALLR's catalog carry each (ALLR data, 2026-10-05).− - [Modular vs full-face helmets: what P/J labels really mean](https://allr.io/guides/modular-vs-full-face-motorcycle-helmets): A modular helmet approved as P or P/J can be tested like a full-face with its chin bar closed, but the latch is the weak point: SHARP's latch scores for five flip-front helmets among its latest ratings range from 37% to 100%. Here is what J, P and P/J mean, how modulars are tested, and what ALLR's catalog shows (2026-10-05).− - [Are expensive motorcycle helmets safer? What SHARP shows](https://allr.io/guides/do-expensive-motorcycle-helmets-protect-better): The UK government's SHARP programme says there is no connection between a helmet's star rating and its price. In its 20 latest ratings, the nine helmets under £200 average 4.3 stars and the eleven at £250 or more average 4.0. Here is what price does buy, the one thing cheap helmets often lack, and where the real savings are (ALLR data, 2026-10-05).− - [AAA vs AA vs A: EN 17092 and CE armour levels explained](https://allr.io/guides/en-17092-aaa-aa-a-and-ce-armour-levels-explained): EN 17092 class (AAA, AA, A, B, C) grades the garment; EN 1621 Level 1 or 2 grades the armour inside it, and the two are independent: of 1,723 AA jackets in ALLR's catalog, 598 state Level 1 armour and 750 state Level 2. What each label means, how abrasion is tested, and what the extra grade costs (ALLR data, recounted 2026-10-21).− - [Motorcycle helmet lifespan and maintenance: when to replace, how to clean, what kills EPS foam](https://allr.io/guides/motorcycle-helmet-lifespan-maintenance): Shoei, Arai, AGV, HJC, Bell, and Schuberth all spec a replacement window of about 5 years — and peer-reviewed research suggests well-stored EPS foam outlasts that by years. Crashes and 4-plus-foot drops kill the foam regardless. Here's what the manufacturers actually say, what degrades a helmet, when to keep it after a drop, and how to− - [How to buy motorcycle gear from Europe to Canada without overpaying](https://allr.io/guides/buying-motorcycle-gear-from-europe-to-canada): Buying European motorcycle gear for delivery to Canada can save money or cost more.

Here is the line-by-line difference from the regulation text, what an independent study found, and how the two compare in ALLR's catalog (ALLR data, 2026-10-23).− - [ECE 22.06 vs DOT: what each helmet label covers](https://allr.io/guides/ece-22-06-vs-dot-fmvss-218-motorcycle-helmets): ECE 22.06 is a type approval with an oblique (rotational) test; DOT (FMVSS 218) is a manufacturer's certification with none.
