Forget the fancy paint jobs. I scored a Fox Pilot (and some other guys did too) from RMATV last year. You really need to try them on and see what fits best, and eff the color or design.
I tried my Fox at the dealer, and got it for cheeeeep online...

Well I want one that looks awesome and functions well. I'm also not looking to spend more than $100. If i'm gonna spend the money though it better look good. From what i've heard these helmets all function great and in my opinion they look good too. Best of both worlds.

OMG Bro.. Please please say your kidding. Your head is only valued at $100???
Spend the money on your helmet. The first time you crash hard and the $100 helmet shatters hopefully you will be ok to say "I should have bought a better helmet".

Im not trying to be a dick but I only have so much to spend. Why buy a super expensive helmet that I won't even need to have to save my head? I'm not saying I'm a great rider, but I don't crash alot. I'm no pro and I'm not doing 60 on a track jumping 100 footers. Just hard trail and open field riding. These are all DOT approved and will protect me from the few and far between falls. I've had a helmet that cost me $120 before from polaris and it held up great. I just outgrew it and it was getting old so its time to get a new one. I'm on a budget and I want the best bang for my buck. Thanks to everyone for the help.

Every brand will fit different. Every graphic will be a personel opinion. I love my FOX V3....$135 on sale at Motorsports.com.

I do think the key is to try on different brands and see what is comfortable on your head.

Looks wise....given your 3 choices......#1
