wesley_r Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Hey all At the moment I am using a borrowed entry level Raleigh helmet... these days though I am finding myself less and less on the road, and more and more in places like Majik Forest. I am getting to know the corners and the drop offs, and every time I go through there, I am a tiny bit faster and trying something new. Now I find myself eyeing some of the smaller jumps thinking "next time"... I was going to buy myself a new helmet along the lines of the Giro Hex, but I'm thinking - if I am enjoying the singletrack and the gnarly stuff so much, should I not be looking at a "skate" style helmet (piss pot)? Is that not going to give me a bit better protection? Or am I just going to look like a nobber? What say you mountain bikers - what's your riding style and what sort of helmet are you rocking?
Weight Weenie Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Trail or full face lid would be better, the pis pot does not cover the lower back part of your head very well
wesley_r Posted June 9, 2010 Author Posted June 9, 2010 examples, though looking at the pics I guess they offer more or less the same amount of protection... the_wes2010-06-10 03:53:31
