I've just started to do some real DH and stuff that could really end up with me making a mess of my face. I'm no model but I've kinda become attached to how i look at the moment So i need to get a full face helmet.
I don't want to spend too much as I haven't got the cash. so far I'm looking at the Bell ballistic, 661 full bravo or azonic T55. Any suggestions?

The bravo 661 is going cheap for the 2004 model on wiggle.
Nice helmet too IMO

...erm not that I just go on how something looks BTW.

It has great reviews too

The Giro Mad Max is due to be replaced - try and nab a bargain. Otherwise I may sell my (hardly used S/M) Switchblade as I now ride in Xen and have a Mad Max should I feel the need to get nasty.

If you want the Bravo in carbon....you can get it cheap on wiggle, but cheaper on Wades. They have a price match policy and told me they would do it for £105. Thats a saving of over £80. Only £10 more than the basic Bravo. Its a lovely light hat too.

...Well as you would expect it to be really.

Whichever one fits your head best. You don't want it moving about...

As Mike says which ever one fits best, I fancied the Bell but it was too small, I ended up with a 661 due to their sizing which suited me better. The Full Bravo is a nice lid which has already saved my teeth, something I'm not confident the Switchblade it replaced would have done in the same circumstance.

i went for a bellistic in the end, cos i saw a review in MBUK saying that it was the best budget full facer and i found one for a bargain £50 on CRC. seems fine the fit is a bit snug but more than OK; it may pack out with a bit of use. Not had a chance to try it yet.

oh ye, and Ta for the help.
