Icaro Skyrunner vs. Chalry No limit

[[Ian]]

OK, SO I'm thinking of picking up one of these helmets during the summer once I get some money and I'm just wondering which would be a better choice. I've heard a no limit is a better helmet and it's also cheaper than a skyrunner because i'd have to pay extra for a skyrunner with a visor. Which one should i get? And why?

[Xgecko]

if is were my skull I wouldn't own either, you're safer in a MTB helmet

[fineout]

do you really need either of them? i guess id go for a icaro though just cuz thats what i want if i get a para helmet

Ok, Please do not say I don't need one or stuff like that. I want one and i'm going to get it. NOONE really needs one but the pros all have them. I woudl get one during the summer because by then I'd be DHing for liek 6-7 months and I'd rather get a helmet like this than precision trucks.

Care to explain why?

I have tried both, and for some reason I feel safer in the skyrunner, and yes, they were both my size.

don't get it in white, i don't want you to cramp my style.

[neuros]

in terms of the no-limit, isn't it $300 for the white one... and lots more for carbon optic?

[Crappysurfer1]

dr worm got his carbon optic for like 275

I have a skyrunner and I'm pretty sure in the event of a serious crash I'll be dead on impact.
I could crush the helmet into a ball of plastic with my barehands.

They look cool and the flip down visor offers great protection from rocks/bugs/wind while your going over 40MPH.
But in the end ask yourself if its really worth it.
On a difficult course I'd put on my full face mountain bike helmet over my skyrunner just so I know I'll live another day.

Tough choice indeed.
