 Poster: A snowHead
|
Need to get hold of one for shredding at Tamworth and MK so has anyone got any suggestions on good value shops before I head to Ebay?
Looking at one of the Bern, Pro-Tec or R.E.D. ones. Don't want to spend a fortune so about £45-£50 is tops.

Specialman, I'm sure that Bargain boards had helmets from those ranges when I last looked

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Specialman, I may be wrong but I'd say if you want protection from a helmet I wouldn't consider buying one second-hand (due to the possibility of damage). If you don't care for it's protection and just need it to pass some sort of "required equipment" list then you could get a bargain on ebay. It's your head so I'll let you decide what you want  .

Specialman,  no worries, just thought I'd mention it. I've not formed a strong opinion either way but if I decided I really needed one (I don't currently have one) to protect my head I wouldn't get it second hand. Same for any protective equipment really; climbing ropes, riding helmets, back protectors...

peura, I think it's a sensible option. I know there's little that makes a helmet but like any protective gear, you just don't know what secondhand stuff has been through.
Been going on about getting a helmet for ages so thought i might as well bite the bullet. Think I'll get more reasusrance from one than the back bottom protector shorts that let me down when i took a tumble and knackered my coccyx!!

Mosha Marc, liked the white better but XL is too big. Baby blue has a certain quality to it...
...now, where's my romper suit?
