Yes, tenuous - It is a fairly weak point to make, where there is no argument, "everyone is different"

Not at all, you haven't provided an argument in either direction. Yes people would disagree, you are right in that respect. But they would disagree with some reasoning, or evidence, or just plain prefference - you haven't given anything to discuss, just that you did something, and made a descision based on what you did, but failed to give any indication of what you did.

That's the problem, there isn't realy a point to get across. You are saying that everyone is different, that isn't a point, that is a response to an argument that isn't there - no one has ever said 'everyone is the same', so where is the need for a point ?

I can't belive I've been sucked into this......

In summary you are saying;

You tested some helmets and found a combination that works for you.

You don't say what you tested, neither did you say how you tested, you don't give any criteria, you don't say how you graded the results, neither do you give any results, but you give a conclusion that everyone is different.

The OP is missing substance, if you were to say how you came to your descision then fine, or the criteria used, or how you used your results to form an opinion, etc. You can still give some substance without entering into the 'this helmet is best' debate, or you can make your results know and why you chose which particular helmet. This would give the guys a way of choosing their next helmet, as you say they might come to a different conslusion, but that's the point, as we are different we choose differently.

No-one can argue to you saying 'xyz helmet is best for me because .....' so why not post your offering in a complete way ?
