Ive decided that a FF lid is too restrictive for me on mini ramps. I will continue to wear it on vert though.

So, what peepot do we recommend here then peeps? TSG, Bell or Pro-Tec?

The "R"

The best thing to do is to try before you buy. Make sure you get the size right cos most makes differ from size to size.

I have had the same copy protec for years but I just got a new TSG. I wanted to get a new lid anyway but DSD Joe sold me his brand new S&M logo one (they did them for a while but they are very hard to get now). It great, but if anything its a bit small even tho its an XL. Still, if it was any bigger, DSD might have kept it!

i used to have a protec but im using a bell at the momment, the bell seems to be better constructed ie thicker foam padding. thicker styrafoam and has taken a few hard knocks and still is ok, only downside is its wider than a protec and dosent look as good imo

"it does make me sweat a bit"

Thats another reason i want one mate. You think its bad in a peepot, try a fullface in the middle of summer.

King Kong do em now aswell? Decisions, decisions eh!

I will wait and see what the general consensus is before i decide, but want it for saturday really.

That would be Smiths Scabs, as in the bloody great big skate kneepads....

To be honest bud, they're all much of a muchness really, the major difference in design being that the UK market ones have to comform to a european standard and consequently, they have the hard inner foam padding, with a 'comfort' padding installed on top.

The US models have soft squidgy foam throughout I'm told.

As you know, I'm not the best person to advise you on these things, but I'd go for comfort first and that would mean a US model...

Sean 2000 · « **Reply #11 on:** July 17, 2008, 09:25 PM »

Thats a relief, i was expecting a bollockin of ya big fella!

I obviously will still go FF on vert and concrete

I'm hearin ya rap about the US pots mate, but does that mean i have literally got to get one from the good ol U S of A.....shippin and all that malarky?

(in my best geordie accent) "A canni b arsed like"

I wonder why theres nothing in between a full face and a pisspot, like pisspot with an american football type chin bar!

Arma · « **Reply #13 on:** July 17, 2008, 09:28 PM »

old skool protec without a doubt bro if the ears are covered it softens the blow and spreads the shock new skool lids knock you out quicker than Ptell learns tricks trust me , i knocked myself silly 2 weeks ago came in temple first was abit dazed but ok , a new skool lid would have well put me out..

rarman1 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 17, 2008, 09:30 PM »

i was finding the full face a bit too much too sometimes.... got a TSG evo about a month ago, euro spec one and very comfy.

Because they can't distribute the forces correctly

Pat, what do you mean by "oldskool" is that a US version? And where did you get yours?

Cheers, Sean.

one of my parachuting ones from the early nineties , but i spoke to my mate the other week that runs a paragliding skool and he has half a dozen they dont use now and said i can have them so you can have one bro when i pick them up , prob need new padding and they prob be luminous green, pink ,mauve or the like as that was the colours late 80s early 90s , but they do work bro..

Sean 2000 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 17, 2008, 09:59 PM »

Cheers dude, no worries about the colour i could vinyl wrap it at work............or is that not a good idea?
