Use code : HELMETAMNESTY Online.
It doesn't state how to send your old helmet to them, well I couldn't find it but the code works :)
Various Specialized helmets up for grabs with 50% off their sale price when trading in your old helmet. This includes the 2015 S Works Prevail (Large only) for £49.99 which retails for well over £100 everywhere else. If your lid is worn or damaged its worth having a look, I don't need one but very tempted with the S Works. Prices range from £19.99 upwards with the code.

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT buy a knock off helmet, they are nowhere near the same standards, they will not have the protection. they will not comply with EN1078.
No, it's a deal. From the specialized website link posted above -

We're confident that you'll love our helmets. How confident? Until May 31st, you can trade-in any helmet, and we'll give you up to 50% off on selected Specialized models, like the S-Works Prevail."
You can get knock off ones at Aliexpress. I cant vouch for the quality, but I imagine they are all made in China, with the same material technology and processes.

IMO not worth it at all.. I had one of them from AliExpress, then i saw this episode of BBC Fake Britain a while back where they tested them BBC Fake Britain - Fake Bike Helmets (Sorry video no longer available). They look virtually the same, but the tests in the episode showed them to be not just useless but dangerous compared to an identical 'looking' fake one. That was enough for me to bin the fake and buy a genuine one... You could see and feel the quality difference straight away with a genuine one.

Not bad. Thanks op. Bagged a proper 2. Been thinking about getting one for a while.
I'm not really planning on trading anything in. I wonder if they will honor the order.
Sizing on these is a little different in my experience. They tend to be rather narrow. If your head (top section) is more oval than round you should be fine going by their official sizing. But I found a small (51-57cm) is too narrow for my wife, who has a 55cm head!

If it weren't for a genuine Giro E2 I'd be dead.
