I’ll save a nicer higher dollar helmet for something like a birthday that the wife and family can chip in on

Instead of money, you should be looking at ratings and weight.
Even cheap helmets are certified to save your life when falling off a motorcycle at high speeds. Also they are better rated to protect your head than the Uber expensive bike ones.

I have looked at weight on ones that I find I like, and then search for them, usually on downhill or bmx motor Cross forums etc, they talk about the certificates but I have not really looked too deeply into them
Can’t just not look at money, I have to afford it. I want the lightest, most ventilated, and safe in my price range. Considering I ride dome exposed currently, the safety is not exactly the top tier, dot helmets are out completely, too heavy, bulky, sweaty, for south west Florida.
I just got the demon podium large with goggles today while large it feels good and it has good impact ratings at 2lbs its mid-range weight wise and has excellent ventilation “you can breathe normally indoors with it” in fact I was wearing it while I typed

Hell yeah man! Be super careful and read that battery thread a million times. Things can go very badly if done incorrectly.

thanks i stick to tshirts till it hits the 30s
Lol I wanted the Merica one but don’t make it in my size so I ended up with these I think they were both under $100. Just make sure what you get is full face, no visor and if it comes with one remove it like I did my Oneil, DOT certified and you will be good. Most mountain bike helmets won’t be as they are made for dirt. I think that oniel posed here was a 3 series and that’s not DOT certified get at least the 5 series.
hell this one looks cool too
yeah I need a new helmet… the one I have is soo ugly that I tend to leave it at home if I just run short errands, dumb as f I know. But I kinda dont like the halo without a suit look that the downhill and full face helmets create.
Im digging the mountain bike helmets though, the ones without the chin guard though. anyone else running mountain bike helmets and have some recommendations? the im digging some of the Giro ones with mips. they can be found between 60-100 dollars
Fuck that.
If im skateboarding analog I don’t wear a helmet.
If I’m going over 20mph I want a full face helmet.
I’ve seen too many broken jaws.

I went from never wearing a helmet my entire life (till I was 33) , mtb, snowboarding, bmx, street / vert and downhill skating to a tsg pass for esk8.
I still won’t wear one when pushing my board around lol
