Freeride helmet

Dirtrider

Afternoon gentlemen,

I need a new helmet, the current specialized triathlon helmet, while nice and comfortable, looks ridiculous and for the price £50, will not stand up to a huge amount, I don't want to destroy it.

I want something similar to the fox freeride helmet's, and I DON'T want a full face. Also don't want to spend a ridiculous amount.

Any suggestions?

can you put a price on your head.....

being some one who has put an helmet to use and knowing it saved him from searious life threatening injuries..
i would not put a price on my own head.....

i use a tld d2 carbon open face lid.. offers good protection... but does get very hot and sweaty in summer...

there's those urge helmets, they score decent reviews....

the one i put to good use and replaced with another was a gyro zen.. i liked the look of and wanted a 661 recon but when i tried it on it wouldnt fit my head. nor would the urge... i tried on quite a few helmets in the shop before getting another gyro zen....

Or you after a p***pot?

Dirtrider

No, not after a p1ss pot, have one anyway, and they are far too hot. The urge helmets look a bit too much like p1ss pots, not enough ventialtion.

I thought the urge lid would be very hot but after reading some very good reviews I decided to take the plunge and I mist say the ventilation is superb!!

Giro Xar I just bought to replace my Xen, as other comments say you need to spend as much as you can afford and get the best lid for ya bucks, "only got one head"

For trail/xc I use Giro Hex, for the rest Urge down-o-matic, ventilation is good as is vision and not to heavy.

my mrs has just got me the urge enduro matic from biketart for £42.00 but the new 2012 ones which are out in jan they have a new all mountain version with more bigger vents. hope its as good as the reviews say it is.
