What is everyone wearing, and where'd you get it. I hav enot bought a new off road helmet since my Bell Trailstar, lmao....

Not wanting the cheapest, but cannot afford a Shoei like I have for the street.

Goggles too?

i got a fox v3 helmet with oakley o frame goggles. its like a 350 dollar helmet but i got it for 170 bucks.go to rocky mountain and look in there clearance section in helmets. they normally have some really good deals there.

[Ludicrous Speed]

I would like to spend between $100 and $175, if possible.

No way I can justify the money I spen t on my Arai or Shoei for getting muddy and banged up, lol

Thanks for the recommendations, guys!

Check out Newenough.com, I buy a lot of my street gear there and they have an awesome return policy

i picked up a new Shoei V-Moto with metal mulisha graphics for 250 on ebay. about $400 new.not a bad deal.
for goggles i use oakley O frames.

I got a HJC AC-X3 Titan carbon fiber helmet from cyclegear.com for $199. It's normally $420!! Best helmet I've ever had. Only weighs 2.5lbs! I have Oakley Crowbar goggles and I am happy with them.

Go to rocky mountain they have some sick helmets on sale

[BlasterEaten250]

I'd find a fox v3 on clearance like rob 990 did. That's what I was going to get to replace mine but then my whole electrical system decided to take a dump at the same time

I agree, get a Fox V3 on clearance for $170. Normally a 350 dollar helmet like he said. Excellent helmet and very light weight.

I have found some Fox V3's for around $150. I don't care if they are last years model, that makes no difference to me.

I was wondering about the light sensitive goggles, too. I am sensitive to the sun, and always have to pop for expensive sunglasses. These might help.......

RM has the same helmet I bought. It is a Fox Tracer for only $69.99. I bought mine on Ebay for a little more than that. I thought it was a pretty good deal.

Anyone have any input on the One industries Kombat helmet?? Never heard of them before........

they make a world of difference. i didn't think they would when i seen them in the package. but i kept an open mind. they are green in low light and turn blue in higher light. they didn't seam like then cut back the glare a bunch at first but that was until i took them off for the first time after a long ride. now i don't know how i rode without them. i love those things. i think they help alot.
they were recommended to me by a buddy that says the same thing, he wouldn't ever ride with out them again.
