MaXsteri Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Would you not have been better off asking before hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up'n'away Posted December 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Yes your right there, i was just wandering if any one else had the helmet/shinpads and what they thought of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeZee Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Shins are great, I've got a pair, and I swear by them...bit bulky for winter, I wear a 661 Raceshin Lite in winter. The helmet..... oh dear God. I purchased one a week ago and sent it straight back. Its massive on my head. Looked daft. So i ordered a Pro tec helmet instead. I've an XC style helmet at the moment, but it slips, and although i've not smashed my head, I can't help but feel that if i fell off, an XC helmet would move.

Up'n'away Posted December 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 hmm cheers, when i get the helmet the first thing i am going to check is the looks What size did you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaXsteri Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Chances are your head is a different size to his All pisspots made you look like a knob, i wouldn't worry about it as its better than the alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsy Ben Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 shinnys look rather bulky, but if they make you feel safe and do a decent job of keeping you safe then there fine the helmet isnt a personal favourite but thats me. So if you think its a good fit and will stop you (in the most extreme case) ending up in a wheelchair then thats fine too i think looks play a role, but it shouldnt dominate your opinion on a helmet well done for purchasing both hope they help as you progress, but its silly buying them then asking an opinion , maybe a lil more thought next time wouldnt go a-miss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeZee Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 hmm cheers, when i get the helmet the first thing i am going to check is the looks What size did you get?I got a size Medium, and to be honest, the helmet did fit quite snug, its was very comfy. Bit it looked like I had a giant pea on my head. Not a good look doing trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
