chloe-kennard Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Ok, I have just been browsing chainreactioncycles.com and have found a few helmets that have caught my eye, but I have no clue as to which ones are strong, lightweight or reliable. Well here are the ones I like.661 XC CompGiro Indicator 2006Giro ToreroMET Bad BoyGiro Semi MX 2005I am pretty short of money at the moment, with buying a bike and all, but I do want to remain safe so what one is the best value for money?Your response will be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolty Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 The Giro torero is what i would go for every strong and cunfatable (sorry about the spelling mistake :$ )Botly .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Elding Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Strength isn't really an issue to be honest as they all have to pass a test to be sold, so none are going to break straight out. So it's basically just down to what looks good, and ventilation. For trials use I'd reccomend the Semi mx as it has more protection on the back/neck area and thats normally the most common place you would hit it. My mates using a giro indicator though which seems fine.just have a look around your LBS, a helmet that fits well is more important than anything else...

poopipe Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Out of that lot, I'd go for the semi-mx because of the protection on the back. (661 do a similar shaped one, so do Bell)The few times I have cracked my head hard it's been slipping off a rail or something and and an XC style lid wouldn't have helped much at all in those situations. (just as well I have a pisspot really) Don't buy online without trying it on in a bike shop first - you have to make sure the lid fits or its not gonna do you any good at all.

deanie-b Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hiiii....The semi-mx & the indicator are both really good helmets in my opinion I currently ride with an indicator that i got from CRC, and i love it I'd go for the indicator It's not comfortable as stock, But they include some nice blue pads that you can put inside, Work really well, and feel good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
