....anyone recommend a decent BMX Helmet?


Have been looking at the PRO-TEC range, but what other brands are good? Just looking for a 'p!ss-pot' type, not full face..

 I bought a Pro Tec one, I wanted a TSG but everywhere seems to be waiting for new stock.  Paul (Snav) had a nice TSG one for sale in the forsale section the other day.

I've got a fat/funny shaped head  :uglystupid2: the only one I could get to fit was the 661 wee wee pots

I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts :)

Pro-Tec.

I use my snowboard lid. nice, good fit, but don't measure your head, go try one on, even my massive fat melon only needs a Medium protec.

The TSG ones are quite popular, think they are cheaper and look good too.

King Kong lids are pretty good but look a bit big when on, good fit for fat heads though!

I got a cheap Kobe brand one for general riding/ramps etc (not on the track).
I've no idea if it's a rubbish make or not but it fits well and stays in place and seems reasonably well made.

I use a 661 Dirt lid, Cheap at about £20.

My head look massives massive in it - although it looks massive without a helmet!

Chain Reaction have got 63% off some of their 661 helmets!

not as stylish as the TSG or ProTec's though...............
