Hello,
Christmas is around the corner, and I was wondering if you guys could point me to a good entry level helmet I could ask for for Christmas and possibly a good vendor to buy from. -'Chung |

Everyone has told you the facts; you simply cannot pick a helmet online or by recommendation, you have to try it on. You will see that they all have slightly different shapes, since our heads do. When you try them on in the store, once you find one you think you like, you should wear it for a LONG while to make sure it has no pressure points. The last thing you need is a headache that pops up from wearing it too long. There are lots of great helmets out there: AGV, Shuberth, Bell, Simpson, Arai, Shoei, etc. I have owned several dozen and go through the process each time.
Head shape pretty much is consistent within brands (to a degree a few manufacturers change shape, slightly, from model to model but even that is very little). Determine the brand that fits your head the best and then buy the lightest helmet that brand offers you are willing to pay for. IMO |
