Peperami Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Ah, ok fella. Everyone wears either a normal cross-country type helmet, or a bowl type skate helmet. Should be able to get both for £25 upwards. Best bet is to go into a bike shop and try a few on, as mail order its hard to order one that fits correctly.

Danny Kearns Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I use the Giro Xen. Comfy, Light and in my opinion, was worth the £70, keeps your had cool when riding aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigman Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 If i were you i would go to a bike shop and actualy try on a few helmets before you buy one, make sure you have one that fits well then either buy it there or take note of the size etc and go and buy it online, it is important to have a helmet that fits correctly!Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Just thought I'd add, Tescos is always an option.I got a helmet about a year ago, lots of hits, practically destroyed from crashes, being substitute goal post etc. Also seeing if a screwdriver could go through...
