d6116 Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hello all.I myself have two helmets for different bikes, that's fair enough right? One's a road bike and the other a mountain bike so I think it makes sense. My question is if I'm going to get another helmet for a trials bike i hope to get and I feel the need to buy another helmet (which I confess is inevitable) what style should I go for?So "What do you mean by style???" I hear you cry (in my head, that's where it's at after all), well okay some examples: Catlike (clearly out of the question as I already have one), peaked/visor (removable?), conventional all-round (let's be frank) Halford's stylee(check), skateboard. Anymore? Another important point to consider, how much protection do I need on the back of my head, because I've head that can be a 'danger area' in terms of trials injuries and it seems that something like a skateboarding lid, my initially choice, doesn't give you much protection there.All comments welcome.D6116 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Most people just run an XC helmet.The majority use whichever Giro fits their budget at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=)zoo python Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 I've got a Met helmet which is very good, i've already put it to the test since i fell straight on my back and the helmet stopped it from becoming very dangerous. The good thing about the XC style helmet is that they are light weight and airy. The skate style helmet (which I have used before) move around your head and make your head hot and uncomfortable. I would recommend mine, i think it cost me £27.99 from a bike shop in Brighton. Just in case you choose a met, mines black with like a red flame on one side, it also has a peak thing on the front.Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NileBrown™ Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Yeah thats the same with me, I have an 07 giro indicator - I only bought it as it was the one I liked in my local halfords and I only had 30 quid on me. I don't really care how I look in helmets or what helmets I buy, just as long as they are safe and will stop me from cracking my head open.

monkeymoped Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 :wizard: i've got a full face for d/h and 4x and a pi55pot (tsg lid) for dirt jumping and d/h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Piss pots are good - they're cheap and indestructible. For trials I think they're a bit better than XC lids as they cover they back of your head more, and they're more resistant to knocks etc. It just depends on whether you like the look or not. If you're that bothered, you could always get something like a Gire Semi-MX or whatever they're called. But they're expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
