Helmet Question (Full Face)
I've now started to take downhill MTB as a sport so had some question about the safety gears specially on the helmet. As of the moment, I am short in cash... had seen some moto-cross full face helmet at my local LBS. The price difference between a moto-cross full face helmet and that of a mountain bike full face helmet is amazing. The one for MTB costs 3.5 times that of the moto-cross. So I am panning to buy the motocross helmet... is my decision advisable or is my decision to buy the motocross full face helmet okay? Need your thoughts on this...
Thank you... Lloyd |

Re: Helmet Question (Full Face)
Hi Lloyd; Try them on before you buy them. I know that MX helmets are much heavier than MTB helmets. The last thing you want is to be bombing down the hill when you hit a jolt and your helmet shifts loosing your vision. Also, if you start racing; check to see what is required by the event organizers. Have a look on eBay for some MTB full faced helmets. Maybe you can pick one up used; as long as it hasen't been crashed. They're no good after just one crash. Be careful, you only have one head

BikerJohn, Thanks for the info... well since i'm currently on a tight budget and in need of a full face helmet, i'll buy the MX. Had tried to fit and its 100% pefect... i'll start saving for a true MTB helmet so as to reap the benefit of it... specially the weight... Again thanks... regards, Lloyd |

Re: Helmet Question (Full Face)
