Can anyone tell me if there is a cool helmet available on the market for an 8 year old boy. He came with me to my local bike shop and saw a MET Parachute, which at £90 seemed a bit extreme. He seems to like the style :wink:

He is showing an interest in coming off road with me, but he is still not quite there with his skill level yet. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. :D [/img]
At my age you'd have thought I'd learnt by now!

    Thanks Hobbo and Robert for your suggestions, we're going to go with the Giro, it's quite close looking to the MET and I think he'll like the flames :D

    It's a birthday present, I'll let you know what he thinks but I'm sure he'll love!

    Thanks once again :wink:
