Helmet advice

[cadenceblur]

Hi guys

 

Looking for some HELMET advice.

In the market for a mtb helmet with a bit more protection than my current road specific unit.

I have looked at the following, considering colours, reviews and availability etc:

 

Bell Stoker - not keen on fit and look

Specialized vice - an option, but side and rear coverage is not optimum, also lacks padding

Bell Super - nice, but pricey

 

I'm leaning towards the Super, I want a helmet that will not make me want to change later on, I also don't want over kill with respect to my riding (if that makes sense) , not that you can't have enough head protection I guess.

I would not consider myself to be an enduro rider, but I enjoy a good mix of trail and XC,

This a consideration as I want something comfortable, that won't have me overheating on longer rides.

 

Input will be greatly appreciated.

Catlike Leaf or look at the Mavic notch,Bell Super is awesome,maybe look at 661 Evo

I have been riding with a Super for 5 months now. Comfortable BUT venting not the best. Find it is a bit to warm on some days.

Been looking at the Etto http://www.sportsworld.co.za/category.php?id_category=210

661 Recon is great value I'd say.

I bought a very nice helmet from Sportsworld which has great protection and is well priced. Check it out its a Etto.

Etto helmets are the bomb! Loving mine, will never buy another brand... Great bang for your buck too.

Thanks, thta Met does look nice. Will have a look. Online is obviously a challenge due to fit and import costs are prohibitive.Spoke to Dial'd bikes - no stock at present, will try Velolife
