Grant H Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 (edited) pisspot helmets are good because they can be hit over and over again without needing to be placed.their cheap.they cover the vast majority of you headthey dont have many ventilation holes in them so you generally get hot quicker.their also heavier.alot of riders use a xc style helmet as their light and keep ur head cool i always found their much more adustable than pisspot helmets.but your meant to replace your helmet if you hit/knock it.i have a cheapish xc style helmet because i think it looks better than a pisspot and it wont cost much to replace.it doesnt really matter what helmet you get, as long as it fits and protects you head Edited April 7, 2007 by Grant H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 I generally prefer cycling style helmets as apposed to piss pot styled helmets, as a cycle style helmet looks better in my opinion and fits your head better.Theres a lot of movement in a freestyle/piss pot helmet, and I look like a tit in one.All you need really is a helmet that; fits your head without too much movement, has comfort, and good coverage.
