Need new skid lid, any suggestions?

[MrPlow]

Want to get a full face helmet. Don't want to spend heaps. Around $200.00 to $300.00 is it. What Full face has good ventilation, weightg etc. And more importantly what helmets do you think or crap! Thanks :wink:

cant u fellas get mad max II's for 190?

[Simo]

i just got a mad max 2 for 220, and that was a great deal

think they r usually around 260-270

[MrPlow]

What do MMII's look like?? Are they OK?

they are sick man. i love the look and feel of em.. they are 450 over here :roll: but they are nice

[MrPlow]

Who makes em? Do they have a website so I can have a peek @ em?

btw i have a mad max II (blue flamie one :P ) and i love it soooo comfy i wore that like 3 weekend in a row and after that my xc helmet feels unco (it used to feel comfy as)

i also want a giro winter helmet for skiing but nowhere bloody stocks them!

[MrPlow]

They look schweet!!! Have to get one me thinks, Switchblade looks good too. Must be expensive though :?:

i dont like the switchblade. Josh you shoulda got one of them then ur XC lid wouldnt feel so unco

[oz-freerider]

yes they are but the jaw bone i spose u would call it is verry weak your much better off having a real full face mine has sved my brain and face many times so far

yeah.. my mate crushed his switchblade but hes crazy... Perth Peeps, he did the perth art gallery stairs

[MrPlow]

Yeh, hust had a look at the swithblade and it aint that hot in bigger pisture. I thought it was a massively vented full face, but it is a bit of a half arse. :? I spose it may be ok but I allready have a roadie lid and a xc mtb lid, so need a true full face. Now where to get one from.. Have to check out the LBS.

buy a tld helmet. only 600-700 bucks. thats unreal for a bloody helmet. i have a nice netti one. they are reccomended. saved me sooo many times. if it was a xc lid. ie my other helmet it would be toast and i would have a broken jaw. several times over.

Yeah, don't underestimate the Netti lids, they are great value. They even do a carbon job now, not too sure what it's like though. The AXN is a really nice helmet though.

mad max's are unreal.. i have had mine for about 2 years and its still going strong.. lotsa stickers and a huge troy lee peak..

[Simo]

there's a place sort of near me that sell stuff from the factory that was "faulty" its all safe though, most of it just has scratched paint of packaging that isnt right.
There's a bell full face for $125. I didnt know about this place until after i got my FF though.

Don't skimp on helmets.

How much is your head worth?

Ever depreciating :!: not my best assett :lol: :lol:

[bikeman_baldrik]

if u want something cheap but that will do the job, get an Odyssey Apache.
They're not as stylish as the Giro but they offer pretty much the same level of protection.
I got mine for $160rrp

[MrPlow]

thanks! Can you get the Giro's online anywhere? Or where to get it in Brisvegas?

[Turtle]

Ive got an Odyssey appache 3 and it's mint.
Good vents and made of f/glass
Trick graphics and nice and light.
{Cam @ Actionbikes Brisveagas got it for me }
and it was around the 2 and a bit mark

[wombat]

If you're after a Giro talk to your LBS in the next couple of weeks, they should be able to get them very soon.
