helmet purchasing 101

[Moondance]

type in 77082 and see if it works for you. It don't work for me.

I've called a few of the bike shops around here and nobody seems to carry them. If I knew what size I need, I'd just order one from the net.

boohaa...don't know why it doesn't work. Why don't you measure your head & then look up the sizing chart. I thought engineers were smarter than you appear to be today:clown:

It appears like most of the riders are using MX full face helmets and a few are using them with the H2O goggles. :thinking:

I'm wondering if anyone has tried the full face modular or flip-up type helmets with a lens shield and would be curious as to how well they work in water? :scratchchin:

Don't know that I'd want a shield flipping around. First thing I do with helmets is to remove the visor. They end up getting ripped off anyway.

They're downhill MTB helmets. MX helmets are HEAVY.

Anyone wear snowboard helmets in the water? I was in a shop yesterday getting boots for my son and was looking at the helmets. I lifted a few off the rack, and they weighed next to nothing. It was amazing. I believe the manufacturer was Bern.

Price wise bell is your best bet. The giro's can run over 200 and the sixsixones are up there too. The bellistic's are cheap, light, comfortable, and strong.

Here's a couple more options...

I have a 661 full bravo and its okay, kinda makes me gasp for air when I go under and come up, I think the whitewater kayak helmet yamaslut uses is probably the best, just make sure it fits right.

I want to protect my teefs - so that's why I want a full face.

I found a Giro Remedy at a local bike shop for a hella deal - so I bought it.
