Could someone supply a online store (name) and other than just ebay. Looking for a open face helmet, Need a size large

I found a bunch of stores on Ebay but just wasn't sure who to go with. Currently looking at a HJC helmet (CL-X4 LOGIC) retails for $139.99, on sale for $89.99 plus $10.00 shipping.

Please advise your comments.

tks
John

All that I have is the one that is XL
That is why I have it because I needed a L
The helmet is awesome.
Very light and durable finish, plush interior as well.
you wouldn't be disappointed.

Walmart just doesn't seem to cut it for me, but tks

I'm not just looking for cheap!
I was told months ago b4 I bought my quad that if your riding trails you should have a DOT & Snell approved helmet.

A company just got back to me about this and said the only time you really need Snell approved equipment would be if a race or organization required it.
:huh
Is this true.

I also found AFX helmets are nice, Made in USA and reasonably priced.

a wise old man once told me, "if you have a $50 head, buy a $50 helmet." spend the lil extra and get a bell (im still using my mcgrath replica moto 6) or similar snell and dot approved helmet. protective head gear is a poor place to save money.

Its not that I'm trying to get a cheap helmet, I'm trying to find a online store that has great deals on helmets.

If everyone is selling at $150 then I'm looking to find a website thats selling for much less.

I totally agree this is not the place to be cheap! ! !

:D :D

you make no sense...

if you want an open face helmet why not get it at walmart? $45 is a decent price for a snell and dot approved BELL helmet. Bell is a leader in helmets you know???!!! looks like you're just someone who wants attention. people give you sugestions then you tell them "no thanks". you can spend the next few weeks price shopping on the internet for helmets or... you can buy one!

cdrookie, biteme!

Attention is not something I need nor looking for. maybe thats why you posted your reply. I like to keep active on the site and wasn't sure if one helmet was better than the other.

I'm sure if you paid $300 it might be nicer but if you also spent $50 would you have just as much protection, and would it last as long? I noticed thoughout my searching that some helmets have different guarantees.

Also a deal is what I was looking for!! Maybe I replied too quickly and didn't review my wordage in some of my replies.

But this did start out as wanted to find a site that had good deals on helmets. Everyone has there pesonal opinion, mine is that I would not feel as comfortable if I bought as Walmart as opposed to an actual helmet store.

I've actually found and bought a helmet, so thanks to everyone else for your replies. As far as your concerned, "you have no idea who I am what I know or don't and if I know anything about equipment." So before you judge....... JUST SHUT THE HELL UP AND MOVE ON!! Noone asked you your opinion.
