KNOBIS! Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Hi all, I shall soon be starting trials for first time and want to buy a helmet. Dont have a clue what to buy though! Any ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Since you are a beginner I would recommed a dirt jump style helmet reather than a XC style one. They will be abit hotter but they will take more knocks then a XC helmet before you have to replace it and as a beginner you will probably fall off abit more to start with. But it's your choice. 661, giro, TSG, bell etc make some good helmets. I suggest you get the best one you can afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Beach Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 If you do want an XC style though, I recommend looking athe the Giro Hex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Anscombe Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 There are plenty of styles to suite everyone..But the number one rule.....MAKE SURE IT FITS SNUGGLY ON YOUR HEAD. Because if it fits poorly and you come off the bike the chances are it will do verry little to protect your head.So what i do is go in bike shops and try helmets on just to see roughly what size my head is ! Id recomend giro helmets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
