Anyone recommend a good helmet?

From what i have seen is the lighter the helmet the higher the price. There are some Canadian manufactures out there i just don't recall who at this time but i will look and get back. Until then maybe you could find an exercise to help build up a little more mussel until you can afford a new helmet. Not much help but its free.

Shoei helemts are very nice. I have a Shoei VFX, its the first VFX they came out with. Allot of my riding buddies have HJC helmets, they are good quality also. I have an HJC street bike helmet, very well made, and light.
You should go to www.ebay.com and check out all the helmet auctions. I bought my street HJC there for $100 brand new, with graphics!! It would have been well over $300 at a bike shop. Just type in shoei or HJC in the search box from ebays home page, you will find a ton. Many Canadian sellers on there, so you could save even more maybe.
Good luck!

mudgirl,
In a recent head on with a KX250, I suffered a brain clot in the left frontal lobe together with a broken shoulder and I'm sure the Shoei helmet saved my life altho it didn't do much for my shoulder. Since the helmet took the brunt of the impact, it has been retired. I now wear an Arai Pro, which is arguably the top of the line in helmets. My feeling is that since head transplants are not an option, the price of a helmet is not a factor in protecting the only head you have. The Arai is a carbon fiber outer shell which makes it very light and it is well ventilated, a big plus in Az heat. As are most helmets these days, it is Snell & DOT approved, meaning it conforms to a minimum standard of safety, but the Arai surpasses that criteria which means that it is priced well over $400, but again, is your head worth "pretty good" protection or maximum protection? How much have you invested in your ride? Maybe a small fraction of that is a good investment in longevity.
