Blue and chrome with flames and a dragon here.
My friend got the black and red. Both pretty cool looking in my opinion.

I have a KBC helmet. I love it, it is a tad big, but that is my fault for getting an XL, I probably only needed an L. BUt i just wear a beanie under my helmet and all is good. I got mine for a good price at a local dealer, I think it was about $100, and that isn't too bad when comparing to other brands. They have some pretty cool graphics too. Graphics is what catches my attention, then I look for DOT and Snell, if it doesn't have it, I go to the next good looking helmet. Then try it on and see how it fits. It's not rocket science, just go with what looks good, feels comfy, and is appoved. Good Luck.

Just because it is DOT approved doesn’t mean **** really - I see DOT approved cheap helmets with VERY flimsy jaw protection. I like the high end Fox helmets (and no not just because it’s Fox) they really make a good looking, well vented, strong helmet. Do NOT order a helmet online it’s a bad idea go and try them on EVERY helmet company fits a lot dif.

You don't have to be scared of ordering online as long as you get a guarantee from the company you are buying from. Many gear dealers offer a fit guarantee, that way if you order the wrong size, you simply send it back (at their expense) and they send you a different size.

Don't overlook Fox when looking at equipment. For those who only ride for short periods and take their helmets off a lot, a cheaper helmet will do fine. However, for those who ride like we do, where we may be in full gear for several hours at a time, buying the better quality (and yes usually more expensive) helmets and equipment pays off in comfort. For me, Fox gear just fits better. I don't ride anything else, but you have to decide what fits you best.

Happy Hunting.

like hound dog said..ordering online is fine. Long as u know your size. what i do is i goto a shop and try on different helmets and then go online and buy the one i like. most of these online places will accept returns or exchanges for the right size. i think most people who order online know what they want and the size they want. this way u can save alot of money.
