CurtisRider Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I'm after a new lid and I'm totally lost as to what to get. My current one is a Giro Xen and it's great but VERY old now and had a few light impacts so should probably be replaced now that I'm getting a bit faster and riding regularly. I am doing trail centres mainly if that makes any difference to the type of helmet I should choose. My budget is £50, Ideally I'd pay less but of course I would pay more if necessary, just means saving up a bit longer I guess! My main thing I need is ventilation as my head seems to get ridiculously hot, that's why I chose the Xen as at the time it was the best ventilated lid I could find.

forteh Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I like my bell variant, I have an odd shaped head (long and narrow) so a lot of helmets don't fit snug on the sides; the bell shell shape seems to fit me well. Ventilation is very good (better than my old giro havoc) and the padding/ retention system is very comfy. Cost about 40 quid iirc. Having said all that Toms helmet was very comfy as well when I tried it on, was it an ixis? I can't remember but he certainly raved about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waybe2014 Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Looking at getting a helmet off crc for around 50 or less. Anyone got any recommendations for what's on there at the minute? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk24 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 depends if you want a bmx style pro-tec or an enduro/ all mountain type lid. Pro-tec bucky classic is pretty good for a bmx style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waybe2014 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Should probably have specified it's for trials and just need good coverage for the back of my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
