Title: Helmets....................
Post by: brass monkey! on March 04, 2011, 03:42 PM: ....anyone recommend a decent BMX Helmet?

Have been looking at the PRO-TEC range, but what other brands are good? Just looking for a 'p!ss-pot' type, not full face..

I use my snowboard lid. nice, good fit, but don't measure your head, go try one on, even my massive fat melon only needs a Medium protec.

The TSG ones are quite popular, think they are cheaper and look good too.

I've no idea if it's a rubbish make or not but it fits well and stays in place and seems reasonably well made.

Chain Reaction have got 63% off some of their 661 helmets!

not as stylish as the TSG or ProTec's though...............
