Cairbull helmets any good? Alternatives?

[duanelr]

Hi all, are the Cairbull helmets for sale on takealot any good?

Looking at a trail helmet with more coverage at the back, peak and looks cool (poser alert )

 

What other alternatives are there that are around the R1000 - R1500 mark? 

 

Thanks

Decathlon do a decent trail lid at a more than decent price. Not the lightest, but plenty good enough.

Unfortunately also only one colour available.

I have a helmet like this. I think its good. I hit my head a great shot on Sunday on a low branch, helmet worked great. I bought mine on Aliexpress, was about half the price, but I did wait a bit for delivery.

We are the distributors for Cairbull in South Africa. 

This is our top selling MTB model, it is EN 1078 certified and has really good build quality.

Takealot does free returns so buy it, fit it and I am fairly certain that you will keep it

I also have a Cairbull TT helmet with a visor, it is quite stylish. Looks fast.

First ascent makes a really nice MTB helmet for around R700, actually the best fitting helmet I've ever had, far better than helmets that cost twice the price.

When are yo getting the camo ones back in stock?

[Stretched@Birth]

I bought one through Rookie Sports a while ago, great service from them. Helmet fit is good. I’m considering buying the model with the removable chin bar for my youngster who is getting a bit brave. Happy customer!

We are expecting stock to arrive late May 2021.

No stock, only a few colours left. Various Cairbull MTB helmets in black are expected to arrive late May 2021.

They are actually R649, biggest bargain when it comes to helmets and the build quality is first class:
