Tayyib Posted August 25, 2015 Share Knocked unconscious and broke 2 bones in my face and some teeth over the weekend. My dirt jump helmet did a great job in saving my brain. But need to look at saving the whole head in future. Looking for recommendations for full face helmets? Will be on a budget and hope to spend less than R1800.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 25, 2015 Share Eish man, glad you're somewhat okay... A good place to start is with the Bell range or 661. They do relatively cheap full face helmets, but they're a bit heavier than some of the more expensive competition. Trying to look myself for a lightweight AM / DH lid, but it's proving difficult to do within a budget. Tayyib 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raydek Posted August 25, 2015 Share Same boat here.. Been keeping an eye out for one for a while now.. Wonder why more brands don't make a good well priced ones, like the Etto helmets.. Love mine and I'm sure if they made a full face/AM it would also be awesome and affordable.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoBoshoff Posted August 25, 2015 Share I think my Spez full face cost under a grand. Definitely well under your target range. If it's good enough for Duran van Eeden's pip I reckon I'm ok. Been riding it for little more than a year and still happy. All the padding comes out to wash and it's nice and light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: You mean the specialized Dissident Comp? I see RRP is $150 on their site. You got a deal, Nico!

Tayyib Posted August 25, 2015 Share 661 does appear to have a good range for people on a budget. ..right now I'm not to worried about the weight. Though I imagine that will become a factor...Thanks for advice.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
