Full Face Helmet recommendations?

**Aiyo** · 04-25-2009 01:29 PM

Well.. I stumbled upon the thread "are protecs safe?"
This really got me thinking, I should probably get a full face helmet. I don't even have a half shell now, and I speed board a lot. And "its not about if you fall, its about when you fall" Any brand recommendations on full face helmets?

Bell Drop
Bell Bellistic
Giro Remedy
AFX FX-37DS
661 Full Comp

Browse through the "Post Your Helmet" thread, see what people are generally wearing and then pick what you like the most.

I'll second that.

dont forget 661!

Try them on before buying. 661 and Bell's do not fit my head comfortably. Giro Remedy was the one that fit the best so I bought it.

well no one has the same head lol

661's fit me very comfortably and the only reason i bought one was because it was on clearance and it had size xl

i'd also shoot for a bell if your heads smaller than mine

All the brands listed will function the same so what's left is comfort and fashion. Choose wisely

I need to find a few stores that carry them so I can try them on. Most helmets that I've ever tried always felt weird. And thanks for the suggestions.

Yes. It's a damn good helmet. It's heavier than my Bell Drop and slightly bigger in overall size, but fits a bit smaller and less comfortably. It's DOT rated and will definitely save your head in an impact, but I'm looking for something a little less bulky right now. Hopefully when the polycarbonate gets here I'll make a visor for my Bell Drop that actually works well and then I'll be set.
