Clownbike Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 HiI was looking to upgrade my helmet as i've had it for years. It always bugged me that it stuck out of my head so much, especially as i have a thin face. So i was looking for opinions on a new helmet.I was thinking along the lines of the Grio Semi or Hex/Bell Metropolis.All opinions apreciated!NeilPS not looking to spend a bomb!

Mike W Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Both the hex and the bell metropolis are really nice helmets, personally i`d go for the bell metropolis or have a look at the met range as they have some relatively cheap and nice helmets.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkytrials Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 hex *** ! really i have one it fits so nice relay sug and it looks cool as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clownbike Posted September 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Cheers guys, i was thinking of the Hex, but i came accross this today "Met Badboy Helmet", it looks very lowprofile and i like the black and white bit, not to mention it's quite a reasonable price.Any other suggestions?Ohhhh i was also thinking of the Giro Semi MX, is this a low profile helmet as i can see this sticking out of the side of my head loads! But i like the look of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike W Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 The giro semi mx is a bit more pisspot style than the met, my met helmet is similar to the one you posted the link to and it has lasted ages and is still going strong.halfords have the bell metropolis one and thats really nice, so have a look in there maybe.mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1handedluke Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 hex's fit nicely, but i dunno if its just because i've got a big head, but mine sits alot higher then most over helmets i've tried on etc! but it is really lite aswell!

The Duck Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Get a piss pot, nothing about them sticks out in any direction at all. Can't go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) What about the old Gyro Giro E2? Edited September 22, 2007 by Inur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clownbike Posted September 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Hmmmm....i don't mind if it is a bit high, i just don't want my head to look like too much of a mushroom! The Hex is sounding pretty good atm!I always thought i looked stupid in a piss pot, but maybe the Giro semi MX is a good compromise then. Do any of you guys think it's a lowprofile helmet?Not so keen on the Grio E2 as it sticks out at the back a bit too much for my liking.Thanks for all this advice guys, it's a lot of help!Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
