How much is a decent helmet?
$90-150. If the $90 fits and looks good, I’d get it.
Blizz I reckon you should only give him the free tickets IF he buys the helmet!
It only what any responsible sister should do!
I actually agree with this! I gotta make sure he is being safe and taking care of himself, right!
I’m so glad someone isn’t on my case here. Thanks Cords!
not a problem. Just trying to be a voice of reason. you can still be “safe” without spending $90-140 on a helmet right now….and it won’t make you gross or get some disease….it will have just saved you at least $70 odd and you can take your time and find a helmet you like at a price you like sometime in the future when you have more money and time!
I’ve got 2 sandbox helmets both are L/XL size.. can easily bring them both down and then rent one to you for a 6 pack of beer, but the whole ‘you break you buy’ policy will be in place for the ‘rental’ period
Thanks for the offer but I don’t think those Sandbox one’s fit my fat head properly when I tried one on lol.
You can get ones cheaper from torpedo7,
i have one i got from there that i gave to my ex, worked fine in Tahoe.
But if you can afford it and they fit you, id recommend sandbox. i love mine.

Yeah Capix I think? I had one as a temp helmet before I got my bern, seemed to do the job pretty well!
It all comes down to fit in the end though. After trying on a bunch of helmets I actually found the Red helmets the most comfy on my head so that will probably me my next one.
yeah, my preference is the red helmets…i had to do a fair bit of searching for a while, mainly looking into comfort and safety with look being an added bonus…with my melon head, the most comfortable for me was the red HiFi (mind you the mutiny also fit quite well) but the HiFi with Mips had that extra safety factor that i was looking for…another added bonus that i found with it besides being able to put the redphones in the earpads if you like listening to music whilst riding or just like the convenience of being able to answer your phone (mic/control included with the redphones) is that it has an inflatable section at the back of the helmet that you can inflate to assist with the fit of the helmet…extremely easy to use as well, just pump it up like you would when priming the engine of your push mower (sorry only explanation i could think of at the moment) on one side and then release the air by just pushing on another valve on the opposite side.

Personally I would have gone with Reebok Pumps but that could be showing my age!
^^^ bahaha!!
Pumps makes more sense to me!! What the hell do you pump up on a lawn mower?
Pumps we’re great I had a couple of pairs in primary school. I do remember being completely devo though when my uncle bought me back a pair from a USA trip but they were genuinely around 6 sizes too big. By the time I grew into them they were well out of fashion. Mum still made me wear them though….
Haha city girl Oz! there’s a little pump usually on the side of the mower you press a few times to pump some initial fuel into the engine before you start it.
you don’t actually pump anything up…its just a small pump called a primer…you push and it forces some fuel through the lines so the darn thing will start!
Who you calling city girl??
I can/have mown a lawn!
