beanz Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) Spoil Sport. Dialed have that 661 cheapie for R1200ish. That should more than suffice. Sorry! Yea it looks like a good option, seems to tick all the boxes and gets good reviews. I am between size M & L and my head is kind of odd shaped as it is. I'll check out the lab this weekend , and if not, might just take a chance on the 661 medium - have 30 days to send it back if it doesn't work out. Edited May 30, 2014 by beanz
hayleyearth Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Thanks for the tips guys (and girls).Cycle lab - who would have thought? It's worth sticking my nose in. Dial'd only have the 661 which seems like a decent option too.I would like to not go too overboard on cost - maybe 2-3k max, but if I get something that fits fine, breaths and not too heavy for less that's ok too. In any case I'm not one of those going huge. I'm going to taking it easy over there. When I get back it's probably going to server mainly ornamental purposes, so color schemes should be chosen to go with my "stuff" room. I ride with a 661. I don't feel the need for something else (I don't really care of people judge my kit). It has also survived more than one tantrum-fit-toss (it went further than my bike too) and I have fallen a couple of times on my pip too and still here to tell the story I think I paid only R1100 at Dail'd

The gouge in the chin piece did not bleed or need stitches unlike what would have been the case without it! Edited May 30, 2014 by capediver

Plenty of other things I sill need to throw money at. Just want to protect my noggin and the stuff inside. I Also have the 661 ....see it in action here! The gouge in the chin piece did not bleed or need stitches unlike what would have been the chased without it! I'm in a youtube free containment zone, but I'll check it out later.
