giro remedy no doubt, looks awesome, feels awesome, and is fairly cheap. Troyleedesign helmets are good but expensive... Never tried anything else.

Agreed the Giro is the best bang for the buck and they have pushed the level of protection that helmets are to offer in the industry, outside of DOT approved helemts.

Ya I like those TLD helemts...been so close to getting one, but I know if I spend that kind of coin and I crash on it and scratch it, I am not going to beable to see for the rest of the ride due to the tears in my eyes from ruining her. Nice helemts though.

There is a trend toward DOT approved helemts these days.

lol, same here, thats why when i buy a helmet the first thing i do its i drop it on the ground (from a safe height) that way is already scratched a bit so when i crash the first time i won't care much Smile
about DOT helmets, the offer more protection but they are on the heavy side and run too hot for me imo, i live in AZ so i need all the vents i can get

Hahaha trick is to drop it from a safe height before you buy so you get a deal and don't care about scratching it in the future.

I like the way that troy lee designs helmets have that chin protection. Alot of other helmets are full face but they don't protect your chin as much as most troy lee.

Got a 661 Flight HEX ( the baby blue one :p ) and like it so so much.
It does look like a coppy of the TLD. And they are almost as mutch expensive as them.

That works!!! Hell if someone dropped the helmet in my shop...they would be paying full price, call me a hard ass...but you would do the same with a bike.

I'm in love with my Netti. I know someone that weighed one next to a Lee and a Deviant and it was a fair bit lighter.
