    Hi all

    What full facers would folk recommend for big Alpine stuff. I broke my POC helmet in the Alps and as POC don’t offer any kind of crash replacement, I’m in the market for a new helmet. Any recommendations?

    Cheers

    I got an Urge Down-O-Matic for £97 off CRC last week.

    Obviously not ridden it in Alps yet – but thought I’d make you aware they were going cheep cheep.

    Fits me great (your head may differ) and feels very light when on.

    err. troy lee.

    if you can afford a POC then cost isnt an issue.

    661 if your a pikey.

    I’m a pikey. 661 make good stuff, they just don’t charge the gigantic markups that Troy Lee can.

    Ive got a carbon Specialized Deviant that has been good in the Alps

    Kevin and Abigale have THE helmets, dont think you could get away with the colour of Abigales though

    have a 661 evo and have worn the kali durango, i like my 661 its black and shiny and my shop is a dealer so a great price and have only tested it slightly, small tree and head interface manage to fall off the side of a diamond run and misstimed my turn, so far but not for the want of trying

    I like my 661 and it only cost about £40 on sale. I don’t think a Troy Lee would be worth the extra £200 or whatever it costs.

    weird, my post dissapeared. Could be on my way to my 1st double post.

    Sanny, I’ve tried loads on and IMO the Troy Lee is just a cut above the rest. I can get the D2’s and D2 carbon’s cheap out here so if you’d like me to bring you one back at Christmas give me a shout.
