Hey,

I am looking at getting a helmet in the future for my girlfriend. I found some perfect designs here:

Any idea where I can get something similar for less than half a month's wages? haha

Thanks,

Nick

Hmmmm.....rediculously overpriced.......

What was it about those lids that you liked?.......if it's open faced lids you are interested in how about Davida or Bell?.......

That is the sort of style I am looking for, so its definitely a good start.

The attraction of the really expensive ones is the fact that they're bold, simple and feminine designs I guess, others seem to lack that

I'd also personally not buy online I would buy from a shop something she's actually tried on and know fits correctly.

I'm not sure what you ride but I would also seriously consider buying full face only, why protect the rest of your skin and leave your face uncovered...but hey that's your choice ultimately.

Should of done the BMF last weekend Mate they were almost giving them away some only £20.00 new out of the box. Shop hard this time of the season should be some real deals out there but try before you buy.

Thanks for all the advice, I thought as much about open faces, but you know what girls can be like when presented with something shiny haha

I like my chin so I think I'll stick the traditional style of lid.

Ive never considered anything but full face!

Wouldn't take the risk

Agree with Techno really, get her to try them on
