I’m looking for a new helmet to replace an old spesh instinct that needs replacing.

What’s a good helmet to look at in the budget above ?

Pref black too.

Cheers
Steve.

Before anyone else says it, the one that fits! 😀

Go and try some on, buy the one that fits best

this. I tried loads, I ended up with one from Decathlon for quite a lot less than my maximum budget. It came with two sets of pads too, bargain given just how much my pads stink

I forgot mine on a trip and bought an entry level specialized for 30 its superp cumfy more so than my giro

As above, fit above everything!

However, if Spesh helmets fit, try a Tactic II. I have one as my “spare” helmet and it’s really very good indeed.

Because it fits? 😕 😆

Catlike offer quality at £50 that you get in others at £100

I chucked £55 at one of the 7idp lids , best money I have every spent ,fits like a charm ,weights **** all 19 vents cool ,light and SPANKING LUM ORANGE COLOUR, great lid

I’m selling a bluegrass goldeneye I’m the classifieds if you want an excellent helmet for a bog standard helmet price. It’s a large.

i ordered a giro hex for £47 last week

I’ve got the Specialized one at about £55.

Fits my head nicely, just as well vented as the Giro that went before but just over half the cost and it’s a particularly repugnant enduro shade of green…

+1 on the fit thing too. Some brands just don’t fit my big ugly head.

I like the Bell Stoker, both for shape and price. Seems to fit me well enough 😀

EDIT – WTF – I thought mine was about £45. It was a gift – pls ignore [unless you find one for your budget]

I have a Specialised of some kind renton – bought to replace a Giro that was a bit old.

Bought from Stuarts in Forres (so you can try them on).
I can’t recall the actual name – Advent? but I tried on ones costing £50, £70 and was happy to buy the one at £30-£35 (and 10% discount as well).
