do you think it will be ok doing some simple trails

when you say "will it be ok" i assume you mean will it fit and will it protect you. Well on the protection, any helmet is better thsn no helmet. But we cant comment on if it will fit you. A poorly fitted helmet is pointless. Youd be better of looking around some local bike shops and trying them on, seeing which one fits best. If you just want a simple helmet, try halfords perhaps?

i have measured my head and medium fits, i like full face helmets. do you think it would be ok for protection?

Chucker_Dude

well, even if your head measurements match the helmet size, everyone has different head shapes, it might be too tight at the back or sides. and that will be uncomfortable on long rides.

As for protection, considering the price, well yeah it will be fine. after a years use and a few crashes it may get a few cracks, but it shoudl be fine, yes.

I think halfords are selling these for £20, go try one. Cheaperer than your ebay find too
