Hi James, I am really impressed with the look of the two tone net, I will be checking out SOF later on and order one of these for myself, the original issue French two tone net is very hard to source ( I have been looking for years) so one of these would make an excellent replica in the meantime. Thanks for inspiring me ,and I wish I was Welsh based as I would LOVE to have a look around their warehouse

James, Thank you for posting that link to Brendon's Helmets! I came across that site a good while ago by chance on google I think and I thought it was really good but could never find it again when I searched for it, Nice one! It will be promptly saved to favourites! Cheers! Sean.

Hi James, thanks for looking,I was pleasantly surprised it turned up as swiftly as it did, double bonus the sun was out for the first time in 6 months. I have a Sony Cybershot which is great for close up shots. I am fairly pleased with this net as it is quite close to the French version, I am sure the spacing of the green and brown shades are a little more spaced out, but it's a good compromise until I can source an original French example
