Thom Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hey Hey, looking at buying a bmx helmet particularly a protec one. I was looking at a white one with red straps like the one Rowan Johns was wearing in his last vid, the only one I've found with that colour is the Lasek model. Is that the one ? I heard that the skate helmets are different to the BMX ones where BMX helmets are stronger and protect your head better ? Any info would be great thanks !

manuel Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 mine is the bucky lasec pro model yah ....butas they dont meet british standards (featured on newsround !! hahaha) they arent really sold here anymore...basically - the one i have is a clearish plastic shell with some hardish foam padding and head pad bits. Its lightweight comfy and I think will protect me for trials knocks - which are knocks front and rear really. (but dont think you'll survive in a car crash) and i dont have to replace it everytime i fall on my head. As you are in australia you may be able to find one... but they seem pretty scarce everywhere... the other alternative is to get the new bucky lasec pro model one, that has the full on compressed polystyreneee type protection = not as good looking, heavier, brittle, but i suppose is more likely to save your life . . . hope that helps ? PM me if you want to ask me anything RJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 (edited) I can get two models from protec over here and funnily enough the lasek is one of them so I can actually get it pretty easily. The other is the classic. From just looking at the pictures it looks like the classic is more 'safer'.Is this the case or is it really just the same thing? I do prefer the look of the lasek though and I'm definitely liking the lightweight part, as the other BMX style helmets i've tried have been quite heavy feeling. Also in terms of sizing. On my Bell XC helmet I'm a medium 56-58 cm, should I get a medium or large ? I can't really try it on as i'm going to order it over the net. http://www.strictlybmx.com/categories.asp?cID=50Thanks for the reply Rowan Edited August 5, 2006 by norco_trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Bleech Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 try a capix opener helmet, its the same construction as the old style lasek and damn comfy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
