Best Helmet?

[jumpjet]

Hey dudes,

I'm having trouble finding a helmet that is actually designed for our sport... Any suggestions?

preferably something that is lightweight, drains quick, and doesn't get water logged and tear up my neck...

Thanks!

After hearing this you won't like my suggestion....

I like the Pro-Tec wakeboard helmet: http://www.altrec.com/pro-tec/wake-paddling-helmet

Light weight and comfy. I hate wearing a helmet and this is the next best thing.

Thanks Troublemaker... Those look sweet.

Is the inner foam pretty water resilient and not hold a ton of water? I only ask because it is technically designed for BMX...

Yea those look nice too. now its a tough decision.

You save 143 grams (.32 lbs) with the Bell Bellistic vs the Giro Freeride.

I also like how they quote the wet weight in the product details of the bellistic.

i wear a ballistic helmet and it performs well.
however sometimes i am a little hesitant to put my face next to the pole as there is nothing protecting my nose and eyes and potentially my mouth with that said I'm seriously thinking about buying a lacrosse helmet.

Maybe I'm missing something, it seems the bellistic has at least jaw and mouth protection.

a lacrosse helmet is deff the safest. but i think they look gay unless your holding a 3ft. shaft and playing with balls...then it looks normal :laugh2:

the foam does not hold water. its more of a harder foam compared to like a motorcycle helmet

This helmet looks just like the Bell ballistic helmet but is more expensive. Save some money, you can get the ballistic helmet for around $70 vs. $110
