Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Roady cos it keeps your head much colder! which is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve@banbury-trials Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 personally i use a bmx /pisspot during the winter and a rodie/xc style helmet for the summer.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I used to use XC style and it does keep you mucch cooler, however the BMX style offer better protection and a longer life. You have to replace XC style helmets after every knock as the foam crumples, howver the polycarbonate outer shell on pisspots protects the foam from damage unless it is a bad crash when the foam breaks anyway to protect your skull. After I broke my XC lid I went to pisspots and never looked back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubuntu_user Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Okay, but what is more the "trials look?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 The more trials look is the XC style lid, however do you care that much about whether other people see you as being really up on trials fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubuntu_user Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Not really... i was just wondering! All I care about is protection! Is a XC lid going to really protect from that really bad hit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Pisspots tend to protect more around the ears and back of the head/neck because the plastic shell extends further down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubuntu_user Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Pisspots tend to protect more around the ears and back of the head/neck because the plastic shell extends further down Just what I was thinking:| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Just a word of warning, don't buy off the internet if you can help it as you need to get the size just right. Wasn't sure if the links were just to show the styles, but just thought i'd say.I've always found the pisspot style for better protection, but the xc styles do look cooler.
