[Closed] Full face helmet which one?

Simple.

All other things being equal, pick the prettiest.

I used to have a bell, though an older model. Got it as for the money it was laminated fibreglass shell compared to the (weaker) polycarbonate of other lids at the same price.

If fit's all the same, lighter is better as it's more comfy, and will be less of a force on your neck in a bad stack. Also take into account how easily you can get spare peaks. Cos if you wear it much at all you will need a new one sooner or later when you faceplant hard!

Giro or Fox...............Giro

How about a Giro Switchblade?

Oh, and out of that list I'd get the Dainese if I had the cash, or the Giro as a second. (FWIW I wear troy lees nowadays as they fit my head best, and I'm not gonna skimp on protecting my head! Did sting a bit to have to replace a 3 week old TLD when I had a massive stack at fort bill though. But then it kept my head intact, so can't complain!)

lol

higgo the switchblade although not as solid as the others, as been out of stock since 2006 🙁

I've got a Giro Remedy (Carbon) which is both light and comfortable, I've also tested the crash replacement programme and that worked well too.

When I did have an accident the Remedy was excellent if I hadn't been wearing it I would have had some quite serious facial injuries but it did it's job 100%.

661 evo thing from crc - plenty of money off too.

I've got one. Nuff said...

DrP

I've got a Drop (and so does solamanda on here)

Always liked Bell helmets- not too pricy and a good weight. Used for a eight weeks in Morzine..

Well I know they are officially all as good (CEN test and all). I just can't get around my head to trust bell or fox...

Why not?

Dainese don't have a reputation for making helmets, they make armour (at least in the cycling world!)

I got a giro remedy carbon and found it heavy and bulky; I genuinely did, although I had already made my mind up that I'd bought the wrong helmet and I [i]needed[/i] a TLD D2 carbon. That does feel so good compared to any others I've ever tried so I wouldn't recommend anything else. Ahhh back in the day when money was easy to come by...

This site might help you decide...

Get an mx helmet, my fox v3 carbon is lighter (and cheaper) than my troy lee d2 composite and a lot better made (plus a spare peak and decent bag).
Don't think i'd trust a d2 carbon, maybe a d3 but they're heavier and £200 more expensive than my fox v3!

Bell make great MC helmets so what's the problem with MTB ones?

Well problem is LBS doesn't stoire MX helmet 😉

hmmm, no local mx shop?
My local mx shop is a lot more helpful than any of the lbs's round here..

😀

juan, not for mtb. The Raptor is the only one I've ever known, and its not big in the UK.

Suspect that Dainese are slightly bigger in the motorbike world though..

Troy Lee or THE.
Both look awesome and if you look in Dirt mag there are adverts for Troy Lee composites about £150 - 200ish think at Dartmoor Cycles.
THE are £149 new i think for composite.

Well lets just say I have amazing relationship with the lbs both inside and outside it. So if it's fro mtbing i'd rather they get my money

Well just buy the one that fits your head the best, simple as that.

Dianese mtb helmets definitely not common in the uk at all, i tried one on in alpe d'huez the other year tho, very light...

Spot on Jackal! which ever fits your head the best

At the end of the day there only there to save the money maker 😆
