I have a bell slant which i find a nice fit and decent money.
i spent about half hour in halfords trying on loads before i decided. it is important to try them.

What type ?. We assume not a full face, there are now quite a few good looking trail style helmets that cover more of the back of your head and avoid the alien/mushroom head look. Ive just bought a 661 Recon (using a £15 off voucher for the new Evans store in Spittalfields Market), very pleased with this, (had a Fox Flux before).

Saw this BBB Varollo in IMB magg but appears not that common to get hold of > http://www.imbikemag.com/issue17/?page=111

Yeah they are a great lid so light you dont even know you have it on.....the ones on the link are 2011 lids but not much has changed on the 2012 lids............once they are gone they are gone.....

I got a cool looking full face from Halfords but that was only because it looked cool but as a complete newbie I'm thinking its a bit over the top. I agree with Andy about the Alien head that's what made me go for a full face.
Is a full face over the top for a newbie?
Quicksilver, get a full face so I don't feel so silly, lol.

Full face ??? i think is a little OTT for a newbie

I have been looking at the Kali Protectives Chakra Plus & MET Terra

What do you all think ? both look good value for money

I nearly got the Chakra plus, it got good reviews on bikeradar, but I eventually went for the urge enduromatic which was reduced on CRC (£45). Nice and comfy and I like the way it looks. I'll leave it for others to decide wether I look like a mushroom head in it

I think your better with the helmet....than without it Alan :lol:

I'm with Alan. Full face helps keep the Hollywood smile too.

Bit OTT for making a trip to Sainsburys perhaps....but not out of place at Danbury, Aston, Alps or any other DH type place.
