Foks,

Looking to get myself a Full Face Helmet as I am going to have ago at some uplift stuff and an Alps visit this year. My riding is now getting braver and I am taking more risks whilst learning new skills and would feel better with some more protection.
Plus wife said so, lol.

Any recommendations please?,
Got a big head so size could be issue, budget upto £100 but have seen some good deals on CRC on cheaper models.

Thanks

Steve.

    your best bet is to go into a shop and try on a few hekmets from different brands as they all have a different fit.

    ive found 661 to be the best fitting for me, but thats not to say that they will be the best fit on you. it all depends on the shape of your head.
  • I have a 661 Comp which was a perfect fit for me - tried a few others and didn't get on with them too well.

    Only you can know what will fit your head. Try some on and so long as it passes the correct standards, it will protect your head

    I've got a 661 Evo, got it from CRC for £42, great helmet fits my huge swede in i got the XL (63cm) and it fits well. The new Inspiral one looks good and they start at £89. Or if you want something with some style THE helmets are only £84 on there.
