I'm in the market for a helmet to wear while primarily trail riding. Full face seems to be too much as far as constriction, etc. Have heard that open face means sticks in the eyes. Half helmets don't protect enough, etc. Who's wearing what out there and why? Thanks, hdnvn

 

i wear a Hart Replica Pilot helmet. my kids helmet is a fullface custome and my wife has a hjc. becouse u cant do much riding with your brains splattered all over the place.

 

I would strongly recommend a moto helmet and goggles. HJC makes reasonably priced helmets that are Snell rated. Scott goggles with light sensitive lens work very well. This combo will keep tree limbs, dust and rocks away from your face/eyes and still allow plenty of air. If it is really cold, full face is hard to beat. This works for me, I am sure others will have other ideas.

 

I would reccomend an m2r helmet very light weight your neck will thank you. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I agree with slags. Thats the same set up I use, and it does wonders for keeping trees and rocks out of the face along with dirt in the mouth, all of which you will run in to a lot on the trails. The key is looking for one that fits right. the more money you spend the better product your going to get. And will feel better on your head.

 

What about the Polaris helmets on the Pure Polaris website?? They are ok helmets arent they? I found one I really like the looks of its not real flashy like alot of the more motorX helmets...

 

I would get an HJC. I have one and its a great helmet, it takes all kinds of abuse and is still in one piece. And like the others said its got a reasonable price.

 

I have a polaris racing helmet that is very comfortable and has held up well.

 

years ago while out on the tri moto i ducked to go under a fallen tree and hit a bump at the same time and broke my front teeth...had a full face ever since.......

 

we have one of the polaris helmets...I think that they are great I dont have a problem with the weight of them and it fits great...I normally throw on a pair of sunglasses and then I am good...works great in the winter too...went out to yellowstone with us on our snowmobiling trip out there a couple of years ago
