Default Helmets, Who wears em and what style and brand




I have been lookin for a helmet online and there are so many places that carry these things with so many options. It is just overwhelming. I was just wondering what kind oflid skidseveryone else uses if any. Im lookin for something full face, lightweight, and not to hot during the summer. Right now i ride without but sometimes it would be nice to have one. Also not lookin to spend more than 100 dollars. So if anyone has any suggestions on what brand and style it would be helpful. THANKS

Something that if I get hit or go down will allow me to see my wife and kids again. Have you heard of them before?

I've been thinking of replacing my current with a Bell Drifter.

Try this site....great prices..huge selection and both DOT and SNELL rated helmuts cheap.

Leatherup.Com

Look for clearance items..there's lots of helmuts. I wear a full face..both Snell and DOT rated...it's excellent..comfortable..safe too but there's lots of choices. Their delivery is quick, service is excellent too ( I bought the wrong size at first..they exchanged it fast and with no hassles). You won't be disappointed..and the other items on their site are great too.

Have fun

you need to try on helmets and find the one that feels best . if its not comfortable you wont wear it. I prefer a full face helmet but sometimes will wear a half helmet when the temps and humidity get unbearable. you might check hjc helmets out they are reasonable priced and I extensively tested one out 18 months ago . 30 mph impact into the side of a car flew over the roof landed on my head and shoulder . ruined the helmet and jacket I walked away with out a scratch. ultimately the choice is yours to wear or not to wear.

I would recommend that you dont, at a descent speed this lid is uncomfortable, this thing sits too high and its bulky.
