helmet

[riderigid]

ok, so i broke my helmet today.
what is a good replacement for a decent price? i want a DJ lid by the way

 

[Avanti_Racing]

probly the pro-tec ones, theyre around 80-100 i THINK u cant get a good helmet cheap

 

[riderigid]

by decent price i meant around that, just not 200+ or something ridiculous. are the 661 helmets any good? (the DJ ones)

i've got one of the 661 dirt lids and i wouldn't get another one, they're too hot in summer and they're really heavy, i'm just gonna go back to an xc helmet.

I'd go the pro-tec ACE, will cost about $100 but it is the most comfortable helmet i've owned, looks good and is reasonably well ventilated too.

If that is above your budget, i'm unsure of wat to reccomend as this is the only helmet i've used.

i got one of the pryme helmets to, they are decent it has saved me on a few occasion. I love mine as it is the coolest colour (candy red with metalflake )they come in a range of colours including red, black, olive and chrome and cost around $58

Protec for sure. $85RRP. Fits sooo well. I love mine.

 

[dutton04]

me two, Protec all the way

pro tec are sick helmets, i got my potty lid and have had it for years, its got nice soft padding inside and is comfy as, problem is i dont think my model passes australian bike standards, only skate ones so it cant be used for 4x

I'll second this. Comfy fitting and AS approved (AS sticker inside the lid). $45 from BSC Melb.

i've heard good things about the giro semi mx!! but i think they are abit heavy on the old wallet!

 

[riderigid]

i have now narrowed my selection down to two. the 661 mullet or the protec. whereabouts in canberry could i get myself one of them though?

Are you guys using the Pro-tec skate model or the BMX one? As far as my understanding is, the local importer doesn't have, and won't have for a while, any stocks of the BMX model. I'd be very wary about getting the skate version too, especially if you want to use it on the trails and other higher speed stuff.
