[QUOTE="Okiewan, post: 1477288, member: 16119"] A LOT of us have been in the same boat and made more mistakes than we'll ever admit. We can sort of make-up for that by helping others avoid the same ones :) That'll work. No fancy materials or paint, not [I]too[/I] heavy and plenty of protection for new riders. The motocross / off-road helmet market has gotten a lot better in recent years, with many more affordable options available. Looks good too! [ATTACH type="full" alt="thor.jpg"]21377[/ATTACH] Hopefully your shop will have them in stock in the sizes you need. There are several brands that will all do well for you if there's a stock issue. [B]The Fox V1 is also a good choice.[/B] [ATTACH type="full" alt="fox_v1_helmet.jpg"]21378[/ATTACH] I also want to mention sizing between brands. Don't make the mistake of fitting one brand or model and think it applies to other brands / models. Lot's of variation here. Some models (usually higher-end versions) offer better fit for different size/shaped heads because they start with several (outer) shell sizes, where less expensive models make due with fewer. Once you know they are going to stick with it, or maybe next time they need a new helmet, you may want to look into more expensive helmets. Yes, you do get what you pay for (to an extent). The biggie is weight. Lighter costs more. Next comes materials (also related to weight), better fabric inside, removable, washable, custom sizes of inserts, better and/or more ventilation. Last and least importantly, paint / coatings. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
