I'm completely new to the scene and don't have a helmet yet. I need to see what everyone's using so I have an idea what to get. So let's see :pics: Also, comments about what's important to look for when searching for one would be great!

I just bought a cheapie for now. I try not to do alot of stupid stuff where it will be put to the test, but you never know. Get one with a removable liner. It makes the helmet alot nicer if it is clean on the inside instead of all soaked with sweat. Make sure it is D.O.T. approved.

I dont have a pic right now but I have a shift and like it alot and my wife and kid have thor. Go to a local shop and try some on. A large in one brand may fit great and be to tight in another brand. It has to fit right to work right.

A helmet is something you definatly have to go and try on. Find the one that fits the best in your price range. A removable liner is a big plus so is being lite weight. If you already have goggles make sure they fit with you new helmet.

I second Matty's comment. You need to try different brands on your melon. I ended up using strictly answer racing helmets because they fit me perfectly, give me the best peripheral views and my goggles fit snug.

The color combo kind of grabs me.

I like my HJC helmet. VERY affordable when I bough it from Rocky Mountain ATV a couple years back.. Think I paid like $80 for it. Very comfortable, lighweight and pleasing to the eye. Also, interior comes out quick and easy for washing..

Here's the only pic I have :naughty:

I like my HJC helmet.

No pics of my helmet but , it too is an HJC motocross style in flat-black .
As for goggles , I wear these now instead of goggles . I found them @ my motorcycle dealer for 15 bucks . They have foam around the lens to keep out wind / dust and other crud & they work great. I'd encourage anyone to try them .

148600 I have a Fox Double Down helmet that I ordered to replace my Oneil Monster Energy because it was a XL and fit tight. I ordered the Fox helmet in a XXL and it fits exactly the same.... lol Go to a dealer and try them on , then buy online the same helmet to get a good deal.
