Helmets?

[jum17]

I need a helmet but dont know what to get. I dont know prices very well but i definatly do not wanna cheap out on a helmet. Are there any good helmets for around $75?

In general, no.

But, before you go buying a helmet just on cost or looks. Find one that fits.

Fit is the most important feature in a helmet. The most expensive, baddest looking helmet isn't going to do you much good, if it doesn't fit your head.

For this, you are going to have to go somewhere that sells a good selection of helmets and try some on.

I got a pretty decent helmet a year ago for about $150. My previous helmet was around the same price, but didn't fit quite right. I'd end up with a headache after wearing it for a short time. I can wear the newer one all day with out any thing
like that.

I like fulmmer helmets and Moose racing. All good and fair priced.

$100-150 (full retail...150-250) should get you a decent helmet. Look for something that's Snell & DOT approved. Search "MX helmet closeouts."

look around for last years models, also maybe you can fine one with scratched paint or some minor blemish. i wouldnt use a $75 helmet.

A good fitting $75 helmet is better than nothing. But you can usually get a pretty darn good helmet on sale or closeout for around $100-$125. But Indy has it right: the fit is everything.

I bought a fly racing helmet about 2 years ago for 85$. It fits me good, pretty comfortable and has held up well.

Quite a bit to choose from in the closeouts at http://www.mxsouth.com/closeout-helmets--helmet-accessories.htm as well as Rocky Mountain ATV and Dennis Kirk.
