Oceag Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 My son uses a full face helmet thats meant for bmx'ing, mountain biking. The padding comes out and is held in place by velcro. Think its a muddy fox helmet.... Quote
jarasic Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 get a fox one. its solid and is used for both mountain biking and motocross so its strong but light. if you get into bugging/ boarding you will need one. Quote
Kitedeck Kid Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 have a word with kitedeck pimp his got some grit X and sumother ones for around £20-£30 Quote
Oceag Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 My son uses a full face helmet thats meant for bmx'ing, mountain biking. The padding comes out and is held in place by velcro. Think its a muddy fox helmet.... just checked. its actually a diamond Back helmet he's got Quote
anna1599968635 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 661 do some well solid full face helmets very nice and comfy.....ive seen my m8 doin flare's at baiter skate park with one on and landed on his head....he was fine got up and kept trying.....lol.....men!!!!!......indistrucable if thats any thing to go by Quote
spooky Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 Hi one of the 661 range will do you. Prices range from £75 updepending on version. But my favorite is the Full Bravo (£99, I think) which is firbreglasss instead of polycarbonate, so stronger and lighter (they do the Full Bravo Carbon, but that is silly money). Comes in 4 different colours Blue, Red, Grey ith contrasting white etc. BUT my favorite colour is the "Flat Black"as it has the outline of flames in red (so not quite in your face as some) >>Click here for a picture of it. Any way have fun, Jon P.s If you want a medium I know some where that you may be able to get some discount on one? Quote
wallis Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 ive got a dirt full face, and still managed to knock myself out while wearing it.... im thinking about replacing it now... theres hardly any padding inside, then polystyrine, which is rock hard Quote
radical_wipeout Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 661 full facers are excellent - I have a Full Bravo that I use for biking. Best deals to buy from Chain Reaction Cycles - Full Bravo - £75. The Diamond Back helmet as mentioned above - £40 from Argos. Quote
Iflyablade Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 If you wan't a decent lid I'd look at the range from chain reaction - my mate has a couple from there which he uses for dh / racing and theyre damn good. Also look quite cool compared to others... Quote
MikeL Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 Try a giro flint helmet, is the lightest one I have found. Quote
king_of_the_sky Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 ive got a 661 full face cant remember which was about 1 1/2 yrs ago i got it, luckaly ive never had to test it. but ym mate with same one had a pretty hard crash from an OBE with it and was fine Quote
guinness17 Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 Is there any advantages to full faced helmets than open, looking to get some kinda' protection ready for a summer of kitin' Quote
king_of_the_sky Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 full face will prevent u hitting any of u r face and therefore prevent broken nose, jaw cheek etc Quote
Goose1599968659 Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 i use a Dirt full face, i love it and dont feel safe without it. The padding is held in by velcro, but i would recomend a full face if you are planning to go flying with your kite. lol It was only £60 too, much cheaper than the mtb/bmx ones! try the guys at kitemarket.com, they helpped me find mine, ordered it specially i think.
