    I need a new helmet

    after my little crash at the first round of the GNCC, im in need of a new helmet. my last one was a 2008 fly one i forget the model but it was very nice just a bit heavy, im looking for something lighter, ive got $400 to spend. what say the masses?

    the troy lee ones are a bit pricey lol and i sorta need one this weekend.

    just had a look at the mrmoto website, seen a couple i liked on there might be worth a drive for a look.

    there's a shop that always emails me special internet deals. I think they're based in Chch they're called vroom.co.nz or motoworks. They had awesome deals on the Airoh helmets a while ago... may be worth a look

    I like the look of lots of the 661 helmets. Unfortunately they just don't fit me very well. Its strange. I fit a med fox helmet, but the med 661 just feels wrong.

    The small however seems better. Its strange, I've never used a small helmet before.

    If you shop around you can get some good deals, but take time to find one that comfortable and reasonable light. I like the Shake helmets - MXR. Not sure where you are, but cycletreads have got some great deals on older models $149 - $290 mark. Also make sure they have the snell dot or similar standard - most do. Good luck.

    I just got a 661 for under $400. The white and gold one.
    Have done a meeting with it now and love it. Its light and comfy and looks trick.
    I would recommend a 661 for sure
