Helmets

[Nomix]

Okay guys I'm looking for a bit of advice, I'm looking to buy a new hardhat.

 

I have one at the moment but I'm looking for one which I can use kite boarding as well as cycle riding, never used one pushbike riding before but common sense says it's about time I did.

 

 

I'd been looking at the Ace Freestyle Signature helmets http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ProductDetail.aspx?Cat=cycle&ProdID=5360028966&N=PRO-TEC%20Ace%20Helmet

 

Any comments or suggestions would be helpful.

 

 

 

 

Cheers Andy

Nice

 

Very clever too, if they've got proper multi-impact protection. Go for it.

yep those are good helmets use to have one until i broke it(to many falls on the head from a height)

[eeyore]

Very nice

I'm after a new lid (its getting on a bit!)

 

Only thing is i perefer full face ones

Pro-Tec all the way for me.

I've been using the Ace range for years, now with the Ace Wake (for use on water a s well as land).

Nom, if you are going to be doing more cycling than boarding then have a garders at this,

It's appears to be a half cycle/half skate lid.

 

There's some good reviews on em knocking about the www, plus i bet you'll be able to find it cheaper elsewhere. ( i just used that site cuz it's got a few decent pics of it.

Thinking about it, that peak might be a tad long for looking up at kites.

But the peak's not big enough to cover the price ......................

[windy]

You didn't stipulate a price range, dude.

 

 

Try Argos.

They do a lid for around 6 and a half sheets.

I highly recommend the Giro snowboard series - airboss stock them:

(plus they do a music kit which is great fun )

You'd poach your brain in sweat juice if you wore that bucket while cycling.
