Which helmet?

**luftywaffles** · 05-16-2009 09:38 PM

so yeah...I'm looking for a half face helmet...Yes yes, I have searched, quite extensively I might add...I've looked at a number of helmets, but when ever I think I see one I like, I look it up only to find that it is a total piece of garbage, not safe at all, fits bad, is extremely uncomfortable, or all of the above..

I just wanted to ask your opinion; which helmet do you think has a good amount of
-SAFETY
-comfort
-design

I was looking at triple 8 brainsavers with the sweatsaver...heard those were comfy...some said they offered no protection, while others said they were fine...

I've heard some bad things about Pro-Tecs...but some good things as well...are the "cpsc protec classic" helmets, just because of the price, but I figured price should be no object when protecting your noggin.

I'd like the price to be around $40, less or more....

So any advice would be appreciated!

check out the Pro-Tec Ace SXP, duel certified (skateboard and bike) protection at an affordable price.

haha yeah penis sigs are the best sigs.

i've taken my brainsaver at least 3mph, fell on it going 25ish, id feel comfortable taking it further than that, although, i cant, i dont live around any hills big enough

my friend has a bern and its really comfortable, he loves it, ive never ridden with it on, but wore it once. im not sure which one he owns...the one with the visor, thats all i know

a full 3 mph?!?!?!? dude your hills are minuscule.

hmm it's probably the Watts...I dunno I might get the Bern if its worth it...but if its not, the triple 8 sounds good...I've heard a gazillion people say they're not safe at all though...idunno

haha i meant 30, i dont see how its not safe...
the bern is definately more comfortable, out of the two of those id recomend the bern

I'm thinking about getting a black Bern Watts from specialtysports.com...

the thing is, I don't know if the helmet on the site is the "hard hat" or the cpsc certified one with eps foam...
